WD driver

Which model Drive and what OS? Did you look in disk management to see if it’s there? Sometimes it just needs to be renamed. Also while there see if it’s online scroll down to where it says volume 0 or 1 or whatever it is and right click there it may need to be switched to online. It will be on the left side.
