H: is on /dev/sdb ( the second disk), it means the PC recognize the disk and the partition table is correct (the partition size matches the disk size)
The filesystem on the partition is probably corrupted.
Run TestDisk, select /dev/sdb, PC/Intel (probably the default choice), Advanced, select the partition, Boot, RebuildBS, List. If you can see your files, choose Write, confirm, Quit and restart your computer.

Use Right to change directory, h to hide Alternate Data Stream

What should I do?
Hi all!
I wanted to tell my drive back to work.
After reading a lot of cases like mine, I saw that many were running chkdsk /f, so I did just that and everything returned to normal.
Thanks for helping cgrenier!
Testdisk is the best!
