How to recover data from RAW file system hard drive?

Recently, all previous graduation photos and videos cannot be accessed since my storage device, a 320GB external hard drive got a RAW files system problem. Every time I tried to access inner stored stuffs, a message would be given and tell that this drive needed to be formatted at first. But, the formatting process will also erase my drive stuffs, right? I don’t want to lose them all. Do you have any idea for me to take them back? Thank you for any suggestion here!

    What connection does this have to the ReadyNAS? Was the USB drive connected to a ReadyNAS?
