I suspect the drive has failed and you will need to replace it.

The reason this happens is because the drive may be faulty. This could also happen if you remove the external drive without using the Safely Remove Hardware option.You could restart your computer and try using a different USB Port and see if it work. Else using a recovery software would help you
