I screwed up one of my harddrives an now it wont work

[Shiorin]

I screwed up one of my harddrives like a fuckin idiot and now the computer is claiming that it cant find the drive, wont let me add anything to it but still says that 57 out of 111gbs is free. I had stuff on this hard drive and some of the folders are there but are completely empty.

Is it possibly to fix this an get my stuff back?! Or did i really just screw myself over?

Im not sure if it related but suddenly my recycle bin doesnt seem to be working either. i deleted a few things, random pictures i dont need or care for, an they dont show up in the bin at all. please help, i dont know what happened but i know i screwed up really bad right now

Earlier today i was going to restart my computer and i have a usb hub hooked up to it, so i ejected 2 of my three harddrives but the third refused to eject. This has happened before and usually i make sure nothing is running anything in it before i just manually eject it. This time i didnt and i just unplugged the hub. when i plugged it all back in after the restart, i was checkin the drives and the local disk in the picture says it has 57 free gbs and it opens properly but theres nothin on the drive except those two folders and nothing is in the folders at all. When i tried to add a picture to the drive, i get that message. I cant even add folders. There was a lot of stuff on it an now it shows nothing but says stuff is still on it.

Try installing the drive inside your case and see if the PC recongnizes it.

How would i do that? Do i just eject it now and then plug it back in??

Power down your PC and open the sides. Put the HDD in one of your drive bays and connect sata to the drive and to your mobo and connect power to the drive from your psu. You can leave the sides open. Power your pc back on and see if the pc recongizes drive.
