Your issue is going to be a failed PCB. If you remove the drive from the casing you'll more than likely see the board itself has blackened circuitry. The drive itself is more than likely healthy, however, to communicate with it you'll need a chip from the damaged board to be removed and saudered to the replacement board. Without that donor chip a new board will not be recognized.
The next thing you should be asking is - [what caused this pcb to overheat and burn out overnight???].
The reality is windows 10 copy/ paste function has some major flaws. Most likely the data read was corrupt/ located on a bad sector, which resulted in cyclic redundancy error, aka your drive kept trying to paste the same file to no avail until it ultimately burnt out your weakest link in the circuitry.
The source drive that caused this issue likely either has file system errors or logical errors (or both). If logical errors are discovered then drive failure is imminent. File system errors can be fixed, but that begs the question of what caused them to occur in the 1st place. *Commonly - shutting down windows improperly can reak havoc on your file system.
In the event you have logical errors - there's a finite number of spare sectors alloted to work around the damaged disk/heads/magnets. Once these spare sectors run out the drive will crash permanently. For that reason it's highly advisable to backup any important data as a priority over attempting hardware repair.
Unfortunately the cost of repairing the pcb on your burned out drive is typically cost prohibitive, unless the stranded data is valued at a higher rate than the hardware. I personally lost a 3tb hard drive recently that has a perfect working motor paired with burnt out pcb so it's fair to say I speak from experience

My thoughts
It came out of the blue, I left running this process over the night and in the morning, when I maximize the window, it disapear and when I try to run the view command I got the above error. I checked that the drive is available and chia GUI does count all the plots inside this drive.
