Hello,
Right-click on the drive --> Properties --> let me know the file system. Is it RAW ?
Good Luck

Hello,

Try this 1.

If the "File System" is RAW, then may be partition got damaged or corrupted.

Click on the below link and download the file.

http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/download/pdr6free.exe

Select the option "Damaged Partition Recovery". It will recover the data from

the damaged partition.

Good Luck.

Seems like there is problem in that site. I had updated the link. Download it. After launching the
application, check the check box that says "I am a home user, please launch MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Edition" and then click on "Launch Power Data Free Edition" button --> Click on "Damaged Partition Recovery"
Good Luck
