Lightroom 14.1.1 Not Reading External Hard Drive

I'm running Lightroom 14.1.1 and about a week ago it stopped reading one of my external hard drives. Nothing about the drive or its location has changed, and when I looked for a missing photo from the drive, the previous location is exactly the same as the current location (drive/folder/photo).  Any help is  appreciated.

  1. Make sure that the external drive is not allowed to go asleep.
  2. Make sure that the external drive has a drive letter permanently assigned
  3. If the external drive went asleep, make sure it has the drive letter that it previously had (line above would keep that correct)
