External hard drive corrupted & unreadable

[bigfrog]

Hi All

My WD 120gb external hard drive wont open with windows which tells me it is corrupted & unreadable.
I have important information & family photo's within it.
Can anybody help me recover this drive.

TTFN

You may be able to open the enclosure and remove the drive and hook it up to a computer directly. Your problem could be a bad enclosure.
