Hello, sorry to hear that you cannot access your files, it is possible that some of them got corrupted. With the help of a data recovery program you should be able to recover most of your files. Using Google you can find several options. 

Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva is a free data recovery program. EaseUS and several companies have recovery software that is try and buy. You can recover a small amount then buy it if it works for your problem. It sounds like the drive is corrupt something like TestDisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk might fix it.
