if you have windows, plug in the drive and see what the drive character is. for example, :E , :F, :G, or in my case :H. whatever your drive is under, keep that key in mind. open up cmd.exe / command prompt as an admin type "color 0a" just to change the text to green since it might take you up to a week for the files to repair. it can take forever. just let this next command do its thing, ":X" being whatever your drive character is. "chkdsk /F /R /X :X" this will check your disc partitions and repair them and check bad sectors and hopefully by the end should have all of your files repaired and saved. make sure youre hooked up to a computer that you can have on for a WHILE without crashing / turning off; its gonna take a while. i wish you immense luck with getting your files back!
