If the drive is still recognized by whichever utility you used to initialize it, you may be able to tell the utility to "reload driver" or something similar. If the blocks where the driver is stored are corrupted, this should rewrite them and get the drive going again. Be sure not to "initialize" or format the drive though. Other than that, I'd try the usual suspects such as NDD, TTP and Disk Warrior and see if any of those help. If the drive isn't showing up at all in any of those utilities it may indeed be time for a data recovery service. That's usually pretty expensive though.
