    Hi Zorky,

    Firstly, try to recover the partition to a different drive using this:

    Partition Wizard Recovery software

    Video : How to perform Partition Recovery with partition magic? Partition Wizard Partition Recovery Video Help.

    Then, you will need to format the external and copy the recovered data back again. I suggest running some checks on the external before you use it again.
