Hey there, Super_Pogi!

This is rather unfortunate! :/ Can you please go to Disk Management and tell me how the drive is displayed there?
Here's a link that explains how to access it: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/disk-management-windows-8.htm
It would be great if you can even post a screenshot of it.
I'd suggest you to first change different USB ports and if you have a spare USB cable to try connecting the external HDD with it instead.
Another thing worth trying is changing the drive letter while at Disk Management. Here's something from our knowledge base that can guide you through the procedure: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=YVboUO

Hope this helps! Keep me posted! :)
