    Try connecting it to another pc, is that doesn't work, u will have to format your drive. formatting does mean losing all its data and starting all over.

There are few software which can help you to recover data from external hard disk or any storage media. One of them is PC Tools File Recover software.

There might be drivers that are needed for the drive to work, If there is corruption that can't be fixed then you'll have to re-partition the hard drive and format it, but if you do that it is very unlikely that you can recover the data unless you've backed up your drive's data.
