I have been getting into pirating over the last year and have saved a lot of my material (movies, tv shows, study material) on a single external hard drive (I should have known the signs). Just today, it has stopped working, and its making a sound every few seconds (something like a beep). I wanted to see if I could get the data restored, as I have a bunch of important stuff on there, but I (stupidly) named one of the folders on the drive “TORRENTS”. I am scared of being judged by the repairer so please if you know anything that I could possibly do at home to repair/get back my data, let me know. Otherwise, should I just start my collection again? Help!

Thanks so much.
