Hard drive changed to RAW file system. What to do?

I woke up, and now my external hard drive is in the RAW file system. I didn't drop it, or even TOUCH the thing, and it isn't working anymore. I know there are files on it, and this includes my password manager application AND my migration file for my new PC. I desperately need these files! HELP ME!!!
