Hopefully the drive isn't physically damaged or the actual drive firmware hasn't been corrupted.
First thing you can try to do is to format the drive. Right click on the drive and goto format. Then use the default settings. Make sure it is on quick format.
If this doesn't work, download Ameco UDTools from Flashboot.ru

On the 2nd tab (manuf settings), change Scan Level to "Level 1 - Highest Speed". Then go back to the first tab and click on "Start All". This will scan the drive and try to repair the capacity and corrupted firmware.
