So I was downloading files to an external drive via web browser. Suddenly the web browser stopped responding and my PC froze. So I had to perform a forced shutdown. After restarting, my external drive no longer showed in "This PC". So I check Disk Management and the drive is there but is not listed as "Not Initialized" and its space is "Unallocated". So before I panic, I'd like to ask about what people here would recommend for rather repairing the drive if possible and saving the data or salvaging what data I can off of it.
