I'd boot my Ubuntu CD (it's LIVE!) and see if I can get in there BEFORE ANY DATA RECOVERY APPS are used.

At the top of this forum is the Lost and Found welcome post where you will find apps for free, free to try and recovery services.

Hi,
i have a 2TB external hard drive connected to my desktop.A few days ago when i was trying to open a folder on the drive in says "XYZ not accessible.The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable".
