Help! error code 43 along with a mysteriously 'gone' folder

I have a Ultra ‘My Passport’ and use it to store pictures. I have several folders to organize my pictures and my folder titled, ‘Children’ is no longer available. Instead, there is a little white piece of paper with a fold in the left hand corner and when I click on it, a box pops up that says this application can’t be found. Error code 43.

All my other folders are on my hard drive, safe and sound ( I am transferring them over to a new hard drive as I’m typing this)

I have several pictures that were located in this folder and they have vanished into thin air. I have plugged my hard drive into other Mac computers and there is not even a picture of a white piece of paper with a fold in the upper left hand corner…the other computers don’t have anything.

PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER my files! Is there anything that can be done? Any experience with this?
