Hello everyone, I'll try and make this as short as possible..., I'm having major Hard Drive Data trouble 
I have three drives in my Hackintosh.
Main drive is SSD with Yosemite
Second Drive is a 250GB Hard Drive
Third Drive is 500GB Hard Drive
Ok basically what happened the other night was, out of nowhere my PSU popped a large Capacitor while I was in the middle of working in photoshop..., It scared me.. but my machine shut off and tried to restart..... before it could.., I cut the power.
Today I replaced the PSU with a brand new higher wattage one.., booted and everything was fine.
A little while later I go into my 500GB Hard Drive where I store a lot of my Docs, Music etc..... and notice the folders and files are all messed up..., like there where random duplicates of files..., and it was just a mess. If I tried to click on a picture to preview it..., it would hang and get the spinning colored wheel etc...... I would open a folder and there would be nothing in it..., but then there would be.
I checked my other drive and its perfectly fine.., so its just my 500GB one.
So I figured rebooting might fix it, since this was the first time returning back into Yosemite since the PSU died etc.
Upon rebooting..., I go to Disk Utility and click "Verify Disk" and it tells me the disk has errors etc..., so I click "Repair" and it says it can't repair the disk, and that I should backup my data and Format...... Well I can't backup anything because it wont let me copy anything from the disk..., gives me some other error.
I reboot again and this time the disk has unmounted itself and won't let me remount it.
So at this point, I'm thinking I need to try and recover my data, so I use Easeus to scan....., it finds some stuff but not all my data.
Now I'm stuck with a Hard Drive with all my data, that wont let me do anything with.
As you can see in the screenshots... this is what it now looks like...... Ignore the middle 250GB drive.
The bottom is the 500GB..., and its partition name is usually "500GB Storage" but now it just reads.... well you can see....
Every time I reboot now, it just tells me it can't mount the drive because it ain't compatible.
Someone with experience in this field must know whats going on here..., is the Partition Table messed up? obviously something todo with the sudden power cut...., I mean..., I've never had any probs with the drive before.... its been fine up to now.
Even the disk utility options to verify and repair are greyed out now.
