Have youtried the following? 1) Restoring your OS to a known working point? It may work if the problem is due to a system glitch. 2) Taking the hard disk out, change its status to slave, and read it from another computer? This worked twice for me. 3) Downloading data recovery software? I have no recommendation on this matter as so far I have not used any. Read the features of each software, maybe there is at least one that can help. My memory may be faulty but I think I read somewhere a long time ago that in certain cases it is possble to recover the data.
