Hi,
Try unplugging the device, uninstalling the drivers, restarting the PC and plugging in the device. The OS should reinstall drivers. I would try the chkdsk /r, /f commands from the cmd. Some users seems to have pretty good success rate with this method. You should try accessing your files from another PC.

https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?DL - You can manually download the WD drivers.
Hope this helps
