The hard drive is in NTFS format which OS X does support natively. Did you have a driver installed in OS X for NTFS?

I have installed Tuxera NTFS, should I change it ?

Do you have issues if you plug the driver into a USB port on a Windows computer?

EDIT: If you plug the hard drive into a Windows PC and you still are having the same issue then the hard drive might be bad.

I agree!
Do you have access to a Windows PC?
That may be your best choice to test and repair an NTFS-formatted drive.
