When I use my HItachi portable hard disk in my computer, it recognises it but it doesn't open the hard disk and says 'H:\ drive is not accessible. The drive is corrupted and is unreadable'. Please help me solve the problem as I want to recover my data in the hard disk as it is very important to me.

Dear FixYa Team,

exactly it was say:

J:\is not accessible
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

Thank you for your support.
