It has been working fine for weeks but I plugged it in today and it mounted, but when I opened the drive in Finder it wouldnt load the filesfolders.

I ejected safely and have tried many times to plug it in again (used both USB ports and 2 different cables) and since then I cant even get that far.

It shows in Disk Utility, but only the disk itself, not the partition dropdown menu.

Ran First Aid and it just runs for 1 second and completes saying it worked successfully.
