It sounds to me like your drive is dying. You could try to put it in a system as a slave drive and see if you have access to your data. If that doesn't work, you could try this utility: [url]http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html[/url]

What OS are you using? If available, you can try System Restore, or you could try doing a 'Repair' installation.
