Any advice/help/tricks/"try this out"s/remedies/solutions would be greatly appreciated. I can still access it (kind of), as in I can still see it.
This has the signs of a failing drive… but I just don’t know. If this infinite-loading issue is happening, I can open, say, Firefox and surf the web, no issues.

It’s as though the HDD itself is slowing down my Windows processes. WD MY PASSPORT Ultra 2TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive - 62.69.
If I open a new window up (like, if I try to access My Pictures from my Start menu), it just shows loading/working symbology. Example: if I plug the drive in, go to My Computer, doubkle-click the drive, then try to open My Documents, all I see is Loading bars/hourglasses all over the wondow. Also, oddly enough: when I try to access the drive or do anything to the drive via my browser, everything Windows-related is slowed down. Sometimes when I plug he drive in and try to access it, then remove it later (after if again doesn’t load), I get the “This drive needs to be formatted” message, even though the drive has already been reved.
tried to access in XBox 360 and in PS4 (nt even sure if these systems can accept external HDDs, anyway).
tried accessing the drive when my PC was booted in safe mode (not sure what I thought this would help/change, but I tried it anyway).
