Hey i have tried -h-r-s/s\d h:\*.* in the run menu but it shows the message "windows cannot find -h. Make sure you have typed the name correctly and then try again". Could you please tell any other way that i can access my folders on my hard drive

The above command assumes the drive is named "h". You need the replace "h" with the drive letter of your external drive and copy the command EXACTLY since the spacing is important.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d h:\*.*

attrib <space> -h <space> -r <space> -s <space> /s <space> /d <space> h:\*.*

Good Luck

It is showin only those folders of which I had taken backup from my system. Others that I took from someone else's drive aren't showing.
After running the above command it shows" access denied- I:\$recycle.bin\s.....".this message.
And now my drive's name is "I".
