an external hard drive containing 76gb of photos has been running on my laptop for two days, i noticed that when i tried to save to it, a popup said it was unable to save to f: drive. so i went to my computer and opened the drive by right click and explore but there is nothing in there apart from an autorun folder which i don't recall being there before. I'm obviously shocked at the notion that ten years of work and family photos are missing but i'm afraid to unplug or power off the system or external hdd in case i do permenant damage, also when in my computer and i richt click on the hdd and select properties, the hard drive has 76gb used space. Please Help
