Unable to access files in MyPassport 070A

Hello,
I have a My Passport 070A drive that's not reading anymore even though I used it less than twenty minutes ago and now it's saying that I need to format the disk in order to use it again. For obvious reasons I don't want to do that just yet if theres any chance of recovery. It's listed as "Local Disk (T:)" and not the renamed version I had before. It's plugged into the same USB port as before, not sure if that makes a difference or not. My hardware is present under the Device Manager under Disk Drives and USB mass storage controllers, I also re-assigned a new Drive Letter to the drive to no avail. In the Device Manager it shows that my device is working properly and in the Computer Management page it's showing that the drive is Healthy (Primary Partition). One last thing before it stopped working and I unplugged it from the USB port, I was having problems with a file reading. I'm sure that's the reason why its not letting me access MyPassport or at least that's my take of it. Any help with any other way to access my files would greatly be appreciated.
