Windows 10: Unrecognized external Hard drive

I have a 4TB hard drive that was previously setup in a Shuttle OMNINAS KD20 NAS with another 4Tb drive. In the NAS they were setup as JBOD. One day you could see the files on the drives, the next day you couldn't. I pulled both drives and attempted to recover the files using an Orico SATA HDD Docking Station connected to my laptop.
The first drive was visible to Windows but the file were not. I used EaseUS Data Recovery Software to recover most of the files on the disk. The second drive, however, when inserted in the docking station just runs and never stops. The drive light on the docking station just keeps blinking like something is attempting to read from the disk and never stops. Windows 10 does not recognize the disk either in computer management or file explorer.
I have used the docking station to work on other drives recently without problems so I don't suspect a problem with it. I rebooted my laptop to see if that had anything to do with it but without success.
Is there anything else I can do to try and get the drive recognized in Windows? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

External hard drive not recognised

Thanks for this. I've done what you suggested and been through all the steps mentioned in the article. The hard drive works fine on a Mac computer, and I've managed to copy the information on it. It must be a Surface issue so I'll try to get a chat line tomorrow.
