Default Help!!! Hard Disk still shows evidence of files, but I can't see them

I have a Firwire Hard Disk that I use on a PC with XP that was
formatted PC on a Mac. It was working fine until I tried to use it as
a device on my Motif es Keyboard. I couldn't see the folders so I
created a folder using the keyboard. When I put to Hard drive back on
the computer it said that it onl has 39 gigs free out of 149 gigs so I
know the stuff is still there, but I can't see it. I really need these
files for a live Recording session I did. I can see the drive, but it
isn't called the samething as it was before and it shows no files or
folders.

I need to somehow get these files visible again

Thanks a lot,

David

You might want to get your hands on a copy of Norton Utilities.
Symantec makes the product and there are versions for both Macs and
Windows.
On a side note, since you are going to be exploring data recovery, I
suggest you read this paper, by Peter Gutmann of the University of
Auckland. Link:
