External HD Not Showing in LR (Mac)

Question

I'm having a problem with my external drives not showing up in LR. Every year I move over my previous year to an external drive for safe keeping. I've accessed them before by plugging in the external drive, the drive lights up green in LR and I'm good to go. Now I can't see them which is strange. I DO see them in my Finder so my computer recognizes the drive.

I've attached a screenshot of what I see. Does anyone know how I can rectify this issue?

The drive is shown, but as 'missing'. Did you perhaps rename it? Lightroom expects the name to be '2012-2014'. If you did as little as changing one letter, then Lightroom does not recognize it. And because Lightroom only shows disks that have images on them that it has imported already, it won't show the renamed disk.

{I will move this to the Lightroom Classic forum}
