USB drive not being detected by finder and disk utility.
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
I was using a usb drive with my Mac and it gave me the notification "improper disconnect" I hadn't touched the drive so I thought it was just the old USB port and it would be fine, maybe some corrupted data, but upon plugging it in it wasn't recognized apart from appearing for a split second as an unmounted drive in district utility. I tried this on another Mac and on a PC but it also wasn't recognized there. I reset the SMC, PRAM, etc. but nothing worked.
I must also note that I think the USB drive is getting power, the indicator light on it lights up and flashing as if it is being used[br]

I have checked the console logs and I think these error were related to the issue:
"unable to repair /dev/disk2s1 (status code 0x00000008)"
"unable to mount /dev/disk2s1 (status code 0x00000047)"

these both occurred when plugging in the drive
any help is appreciated thank you.
