The HDD needs to be formatted, you would need to run data recovery software on the HDD before doing this if you don't have a backup. Why don't you keep a backup if the files are so important? Seems a bit foolish!

Don't format the disk, yet!

 

Are you able to see your files on your sister's computer? Did she format the drive on her computer?

 

If you right-click on the "local drive F:" icon and select Properties, what size does it say your drive is?
