use a search engine do a search data recovery software. Do not format the drive and use Linux too access your files and copy to an new location cd or dvd cdrom or another hard drive.
How was the drive formatted? Ddwrt is linux so some versions can't read some file systems. But it normally does not do anything to the file as it can't access them.
You would be MUCH better to post in the proper forum as explained in the first post in this forum. _________________ SIG:

gonna just chaulk this up as drive failure not caused by DD-WRT. Have the feeling that the router zapped the logic board or the logic board just failed due to luck.
drive was either FAT32 or NTFS. Drive is a 500GB, but lists as 2.2TB on my MacBook Air. Windows doesn't even read it beyond device manager.
sounds like the controller card on the hard drive malfunctioned or shorted out. I;ve had those symptoms from a perfectly working drive being dropped on the floor. a real "d'oh" moment.... _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

this along with issues of drives mounting and unmounting upon plugging in really caused me to panic.
for my router the "Use SES Button to Remove Drives" was causing my drives to instantly unmount upon mount. added this info to the appropropriate sub forum for Broadcom chipsets.
