If the drive still shows up in windows but doesn't show the files the directory structure of the drive is likely damaged. This generally happens when you unplug the drive without ejecting it or if the power goes out while it's active.
If you have the files stored elsewhere, format the drive with a full format to ensure it's back to normal then copy the files back onto it.
If this was the only place you have the files you may need the help of a pro like the guys at www.armor-it.com to get your files back,
Let me know if you need any further guidance on this issue.
