Hello,

The hard drive just got corrupted today and even though it load when plugged in, I cannot click on any file in explorer. Windows keeps reporting the drive is corrupted and cannot repair the disk

The disk contains a Mac HFS+ filesystem. Windows can not read such partitions, you have to use a Mac computer.

Without more information, it's hard to help you. What is the real problem ?
- HFS+ Filesystem corruption
- Formating by mistake the disk on a Mac computer
- Wanting to use Windows to read a Mac filesystem
