Did you try using a Windows PC to access the drive?

Hi Help me please,
Try connecting the drive to a Windows PC and go to Disk Management. Check the drive’s format. Is it still NTFS or it appears as RAW?
If it says RAW, that means that Windows cannot identify the drive’s file format. I would recommend you to test the drive on a Linux PC or download a data recovery tool and try to save your most important data. If you manage to do so, format the drive, putting it in exFat, which can be used on both Mac and Windows.
Check the link below for some data recovery software suggestions:

Hope this helps
