If you power off or disconnect the drive while it's writing then it will corrupt the data. Depending on where it's writing can affect the severity of damage from a damaged cluster making a file unreadable. If the FAT gets corrupted thenyou can loose everything. * +

If you have any sort of rescue disk ie Hirens, give that a try, there's a lot of tools on it that MAY help, and tbh, at this point, it cant hurt to try *
