sounds like it its corrupted. Not much windows will be able to do if it wont let you open it that is about it from that side. Something I would try is seeing if it will open under a linux partition. If you go to Download - Linux Mint you can download it to a bootable CD and then run it with out installing it. It is worth a shot to see if it will open it. If it does open it just copy it to another drive and then reformat that one. The only other option that i know of is to send it to a professional data retrieval person. VERY expensive so guess it depends on what the data is worth to you.
I think your disk is gone (out of service). You can try user permission or clean disk command. Clean disk will erase your data.
