Hey, unplug the External HDD's power source...wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. It should appear then. I have this issue all the time with my Western Digital 2TB External Hard Drive...sometimes I just want to throw it out the window but unplugging the power source and re-plugging it in works too :) .
