You can use Recuva or EaseUS to see if anything can be read off the drive for you to recover.

Unfortunately, the thing to do with important files is to back them up before it's a problem. Quite frequently, by the time you know you have a problem accessing data that you have not backed up, recovering that data will be difficult and/or expensive.
