Hi there Jenymackay,

You can start with just attaching the drive to another USB port.
If the issue persists, you can go to Device Manager as just i7Baby already suggested and uninstall the device. After that you can unplug the drive -> reboot your system -> plug the drive in again and wait for it to install automatically.
If the issue persists, you can update your USB drivers.

Cheers,
