Hi there,
You can recover data on it with data recovery program to avoid losing your files.I have succeed to recover lost data from hard drive with Tenorshare. It can recover data after deeply scanning your external hard drive to look for lost data due to drives crash.You can get it here: http://www.any-data-recovery.com/index.htm
After you recover your data,you can format it to check out whether it can be fixed.
If it fails, you will have to go to a recovery office where supply data recovery service but let's hope not because it will cost you a lot of money and whether they can recover data is not guaranteed.

All right! Based on my experiences, there are two ways to go for you:
1). Try to show these hidden files back like this:
Start => Run => Type in "control folders" and press "OK" =>Click "View" and hook "Show hidden files and folders"=> Press "OK".
2). Try to recover these inaccessible files back for free with the help of a file data recovery freeware here:

Next time, you should never save the needed files on only one hard drive.

Hello Modeling,

Please try the Data Recovery Software available in market to recover the files. First try the demo software of the data recovery software( Recover Data for FAT and NTFS) from their particular website. If the demo software displays all your data you need then purchase their full version software to save your valuable data. Because in demo software you are not able to save the data. Please try the data recovery software for FAT and NTFS partition.
