Is is possible to ...?

I have an external harddisk drive but while playing music from it on my desktop system, the system just suddenly stopped responding and then I powered it off when it was taking too much of my time. After restarting the system, I connected the external Harddrive again to copy some files from it and after trying to open it, I got the message that "the disk is not formatted" and then asking me to format. I've also tried openning it on another system but still got the same message. Is there any way I can get the data on it back without having to do the formatting cos i have some very important files on it that I can't afford to lose. Please help me someone out there!Also if a disk crashes, is there any way to repair it or that mark the end to the disk or probably there is a software that can be used to get the data out of it? Please let me know if there is.Thanks

DATA RECOVERY SERVICES!!!!! MAJOR $$$$$$$$$When you powered off your PC without properly dismounting the drive it took a crap , there was 50/50 chance, you got burned. Your external drive will have to be reformatted and I would suggest you use it for backup only and not as an active drive.

The problem was caused by you not stopping the music play before powering down. More than likely you corrupted the boot sector to the drive. If you have somebody who knows anuthing about installing that drive as primary, inside a system and has access to a boot-disk with the fdisk command in it, have that person boot the system with the boot disk and type in fdisk/mbr to reconstruct the master boot sector. Then do not write anything to this drive, make it an external drive again and have available a file recovery program before you fire the drive up. It should find your data. No guarantees on this method but worked before.

matehttp://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tag=fil&qt=file+recovery&sort=&operatingSys tems=&licenseType=49&fileSize=&ca=try some of these to get back your info. don't format it, even if your operating system says you need to, .try as many file recovery programs as you can to get back what you lost.
