Corrupted folder on external hdd

[darkangel546237]

hey,

yesterday I tryed to open a folder on my external hdd I received the error message that the folder couldn't be accessed becouse it was corrupted.
I am arfraid this might have have happend when I unplugged my hdd without using save remove, but I'm not sure this is what caused it.

Does anyone know howe i might recover the files in the folder. because it was al large (about 300 GB) and important folder.
I use windows XP, and it is a NTFS drive.

thanks

Try running CHKDISK (check disk) on the external drive
