Try running first aid in disk utilities first. Go to Finder, applications, utilities, disk utilities. Find your External HD in the left column in disk utilities. Click on the disk. Then run first aid on it from the top right.


If that doesn't fix the issue then you will need to erase it in disk utilities and make sure it's formatted properly.
