HELP!

I'm trying to reinstall PS4 games onto my PS5 internal now that my external HDD died. I travel with my PS5 and external HDD and I forgot I dropped my external HDD when I was packing up my stuff last week. Now I'm preparing my PS5 for tomorrow.

I plug in my external HDD (Seagate 2Tb HDD) and the PS5 couldn't repair the HDD to allow my PS5 to start it up and now it just beeps at me whether it's plugged into my PS5 or PC.

But I just want to download a couple of games onto my HDD for tomorrow, but it thinks the games are still installed on the unplugged HDD, and it won't let me install them again. It just keeps asking me to plug the HDD in with the games installed.

What do I do.....?
