Hi,
1/ is the HDD usable on another device?
2/ if yes to above, HDD and directory structure is probably ok, so, does MCC disk management list it as a device?
also, have you tried a different usb port?
kind regards.

What is the file system on the drive?
If Mageia sees the file system as corrupt it will be mounted as read only or not at all.
