Error: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

Someone pulled the USB cable out of my computer while I was downloading files to the Seagate FreeAgent Go. P/N 9NN2A3-500, S/N 5LZ15WQV. Now I am getting this error message: Location is not available. J:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I do not want to format and delete all data off the hard drive, is there another way I can fix this?

"Hi Cynthia Garcia,

Please go this step to find what's the problem of you Hard Drive and then take a solution for that:

1- when you connect your hard drive, please listen to sounds of your hard drive.

2- if you dont hear any noise like a clicking, buzzing or unusual sound, take a breath :) .

3- Right click on my computer an click manage.

4- go to Disk management from left sidebar.

5- look at right section to find your Disk.

"Hi Homayoon

My Segate can not be found in my computer what should I do? I went all the steps youve mentioned on this page but I could not see my Segate. All I see as I connect my disk is the HDD lights!"
