External Drive not showing up on Mac OS: Perv Error:Error External drive not ejected correctly.

I have a new external Drive, it works well on windows and worked well for a day on Mac, but it has suddenly stopped showing up on the Mac OS. To make sure it was still working , I removed the drive and used it again on Windows OS, it worked perfectly well there, Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

How it the External Drive Formatted ?


If formatted to Windows NTFS - yes it should be viewable in macOS BUT only as Read and Not Writeable.


If formatted as exFat - it is usable on both Windows and MacOS both Read and Writeable
