Corrupt file repair

Hi all;
I have a divx reader with hard disk connected by a wireless network to my PC: while I was renaming some folders the network went down and the folders become files, so now are unreadable.
Now, when I connect the network drive, in the left column I have 8 folders (instead of the 10 that I had before) and two files of 0kb.
Before this problem these two files were two folders containing hundreds of files.
How can I restore them? remember that I don't have a physical access to the drive, only by network.
Thank you

DO NOT SAVE ANYTHING TO THIS DRIVE, until you have run a recovery program. Most cost money but there are a few free ones. If only the link on the header of the files has been corrupted a file recovery program should work even if it is a network drive. The only thing is if you are sharing the network drive with others they might be overwriting your information.

There are probably more. what program will work for you? I don't know.
