I'd recommend you try using a different USB cable to connect the external drive with, @Cleyton. You should also try plugging it to another USB port on your Mac. Have you tried to diagnose the HDD's health and SMART status from the Disk utility? I'd suggest you test the drive for defects from there. Hope this helps. Keep me posted.– SuperSoph_WDCommented Apr 20, 2016 at 13:15

@SuperSoph_WD Thanks, but i've tried but like the print shows, it's not showing the driver for me.– CleytonCommented Apr 21, 2016 at 0:36

This looks unfortunate, @Cleyton! :( I'd suggest you attempt to plug the HDD to a different Mac OS X computer and see if you'd be able to access it from there. Have you tried using a different USB cable as well? The unsafe removal of the external drive might have corrupted the file system and possibly the HDD itself, especially if it was still reading/writing data. I'd also consider contacting the drive manufacturer's customer support for assistance with this. Tampering with the HDD physically will void the warranty (if still covered), so be careful. Good luck!– SuperSoph_WDCommented Apr 21, 2016 at 9:55

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
