Buy a new one.
If theres a fault in the drive that made it lose the filesystem, which in turn made it look like everything was just gone... the same thing could happend again.
Would suck if you redownloaded & installed everything and a few months from now you have the same issue.
^ Ive had this issue with a internal HDD before. When something like that happends you get a new drive instead, of useing the old damaged one.
Especially if its about important stuff, like saveing your games you care about.

A hard drive works by haveing a filesystem, that says "find this part of data here, location such and such".
If your filesystem is damaged/currupted/lost, HDD might just make a new clean one, which in turn would make the drive appear to be empty.
Its technically not, but unless he wants to spend forever trying to recover it, it might as well be.
The problem is if his hard drive is failing, just ignoreing the fact that it did this once already, isnt gonna solve his issues. Its likely to happend again.
