you *NEVER* just unplug an external drive. You should always use the operating systems 'eject' or 'Safely remove' feature.

You have either corrupted the file system or caused actual physical damage to the drive. please run disk error checking (with both options enable) on the drive. You can find it by right clicking ont he drive and selecting properties from Explorer. Error checking can be found on the Tools tab.
