How to Recover Data from an External Hard Drive with Free Data Recovery?

I have a 1 TB external hard drive which is often used for data backup. Yesterday, I accidentally ejected it from my computer without following proper procedure. After that, I was not able to access files on it, when I connected it back into my PC, it displayed "You need to format the disk in drive *: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?". I think my external hard drive is corrupted due to accidentally ejected. Can you tell me how to recover data from external hard drive? Thanks.
