Files in HDD not showing

please help. i was advice to use stellar phoenix to recover my files. is there any other way to recover it. I tried opening the external HD from safe mode but it can not be found. In normal mode, only 2 files are showing (one pdf and one Word file). But the rest of the files are not showing.

files missing are the movies, downloaded games etc..

i have similar problem.. last time used my External HDD is i plugged it on someone else's laptop..

and now almost all of the files are not showing up.. unless i search them by their file name..

is there a way to recover them same as before.. coz i really can;t remember all of the file names that i put on my hdd


plssss helppppp meeee >_<
