Hello, have you tried opening the disk management window to see if it’s recognized there?

I did a couple of times,but what i dont get is when i recieved the cord in the mail and plugged it in the usb port and to the passport it started flashing and my drive came up right away.So i said let me disconnect it and connect it back to see if it works now it just randomly shows up whenever i try to connect it.Kind of like a hit or miss sort of thing.
To rule out any possible hardware problem, you can also run a DLG test, or also try connecting the drive to another PC.

I ran that but i didnt see it,im figuring that the booster cable that was sent damaged the hard drive
