[TUnknown]

I'm new to the forum, so please forgive it i post it the wrong place but i really needed some help 

I bought a Seagate 2 TB hard disk and i have used it for about 1 or 2 year with no problem at all but then suddenly when i plug it in it beep 2 times and windows recognize it, but it does not show up in my PC or Disk management

but device and Printer recognize it but i can't access it and i try finding a solution but all the solution can see the drive in disk management but i cant see it   

The Device is Seagate BUP Slim BK Just for Reference

 

I have tried Uninstalling driver ,restarting the computer, changing cable and changing device but the problem is itill there

Can you scroll down in disk management? There's one more disk that's not in your screenshot.

Beeping is a signs of problem, usually bad power connections due to worn out usb cables / port.

Have you tried it on another PC? 

 

Can you feel the drive spin up when you plug it in? If not, the drive might be dead or the port could be damaged. If it's out of warranty, you could remove the drive from the enclosure to see if it detects using a SATA interface.

The problem is not the port on the PC, it's the port on the drive which is not durable.

Also constant replugging will reduce the lifetime of the drive, creating bad sectors, this is a common problems with usb powered hdd.

If you can connect the drive, rescue as many files as possible, that drive is about to be dead.

Next time buy a external usb drive with dedicated power adapter.

But i barely unplug as the pandemic happen i had to study at home, so my hard disk is attached to the pc most of the time at it happen after plugging it into my tv which was very weird

I plug into the 2nd pc to transfer some files, and it worked fine but after plugging it into the TV it did not recognize it so i used the pc to check if the drive is ok, but then it just started to beep whenever i plug it in and i cant find the drive anymore after that
