My pc was accidentily unplugged without shutting down
yesterday. Now Windows will not display the external hard
drive in explorer. In the disks management utility it is
listed as "unrecognized". It is listed as connected in
the plug-in icon on the bottom right.

Should I uninstall the device and then reinstall?

It is a Maxtor USB external drive.

Please help. Thanks.
