I said I'd be back and after trying the three things I know how to do; I am!

So, short version: I had a drive crash and everything I tried to fix it failed. Now my external doesn't work.

Part of this was running OpenSuperClone, trying to mirror my damaged drive onto a new external drive (WD Easy Store). With a trip coming up and not being keen on leaving it running at 165+ days to go in the time left bar, I aborted the operation, leaving a partial mirror on my external. OSC led me to believe that it's program allowed this as a come-back option; so I could come back later and pick up where I left off if I wanted.

Problem: Cannot view the external on my PC, laptop or OSC's Linnux OS. Does not even appear as an option. My DVD drive reads as blank w/o a disc, this isn't the same thing.

It still shows up in my eject options, but I couldn't fix it through mapping a network drive, adding a network location or any tools I know in disc management (where it also does not show up).

Can someone tell me what to do here?

Thank you.
