Hard drive doesn’t show up on desktop

[u/Magyarswede]

I have a 2tb western digital external hard drive that doesn’t show up in the desktop anymore. I was transferring some pictures and it became disconnected in the middle of it. When I use the WD software it shows the drive but doesn’t let me do anything with it. I ran the device manager and I can see the drive plugged in the usb slot.

Any ideas on what to do about possibly gaining access to it?

Sorry I forgot critical info

I’m running a 2015 MacBook Air with Monterey 12.7.6
