My External My Book Essential want let me acess my files. Please help

I’m having trouble accessing my files on my external hard drive. Everytime I try to open the folder all my files are saved and stored in it tells me I have to format the folder before I am able to use it. I have a lot of important documents saved on my external drive and I do not want to erase or format the drive. Please Help!!!

Try a data recovery software like TestDisk, Recuva or PhotoRec.

Try “Magic Cute”. This is an unbelievable tool. Will find even deleted files. For $ 39.- you will get a lot of Software and it is absolutely safe. It even let’s you clone a drive onto another drive. I really like this software.

One more note. With this software I got data of a hard drive that had the click of death. No kidding!

Good luck!
