most likely not formatted to NTFS. copy all contents of external to computer first, then format the external to NTFS.

The free "photorec" can recover almost all of the files from your drive as long as it's not physically damaged (if you dropped it, and it won't work anymore then that's probably not recoverable from any known methods). Photorec will recover data even from a severly corrupted hard drive.

If this is a boot drive you might want to do a chkdsk c: /f , that will fix any system file corruption and might get your drive to boot again. You can also try the free "testdisk" to try and fix it. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
