Windows 10: New WD SSD Ext offline

I have a WD SSD 500GB drive in my Acer Aspire running Win 10 Pro. Ver 1909. I have a Sabrent Ext case with a WD SSD 1TB drive in it. The machine sees it but Explorer doesn't. It shows Disk 1 I disk management as Offline and Unallocated. Msg I get is 'Offline (The disk is offline because of policy set by ad administrator'.

I want to clone the 500GB in the machine to the 1TB in the case and put that one in my machine. I have EaseUS to do the cloning but it doesn't see the 1TB either.

Does the 1TB need to be formatted? How? Is there somewhere I have to change some policy? Where? Do I need to put the new drive in the machine and the one I want to clone in the Ext Case? Help!!!

:)

 

Cannot see my ext WD 2 TB HDD


Ran into this problem transferring media files from my laptop to the WD ext hdd. Both USB 3.
"My Book", my 2 TB WD ext HDD I cannot be seen on my laptop nor my media mini pc
I found it in Disk Management. It is shown as Disk 2. It has a black streak all the way (full?) It has excess of I,8 TB used and indicates that it is unitialized.


I have attached a snipper capture of the disk management page.

How do I get the ext HDD to function without losing all my media? I am not technically savvy, but can follow step by step advice.

Thanks
