wow you as well buddy, i had mine fail on me the other day.
anyway lets see if we can sort this out.

does the actual hdd work, as is there power to it and you just cant access the files.
can you even get into it to view the files.

also i tried this program, its free to download and use. it will be able to repair you hdd if it has errors on it.

also try reading the external drive from another computer. Also see if the files are hidden. Open the drive in Explorer then go to Tools>Folder Options>View and check "Show Hidden Files and Folders just in case they were made hidden"
