The possible causes for such an issue can be an incompatible file system, missing drive letter, disk driver issues, damaged partition issues on the hard drive. In a worst-case, the drive itself is failing.

You can try below fixes to resolve the issue:

1. Initialize the drive or drive partition

2. Change/Assign drive letter

3. Update Disk drivers

4. Enable drive in BIOS

Hope it helps!
