How to recover data from inaccessible drive?

About three weeks ago, I used my E drive to backup the files and "My Document" placed in C drive. Every week or so, I would backup all files from My Documents on C drive to My E drive. However, last night, I was trying to do the same but got an error message telling me "The disk in drive D is not formatted, do you want to format it now?" I cannot access the files and my backed up My Document files in E drive. Should I just say yes to formatting it and not worry about it?

One day, you might also find the drive with so much precious data in it becomes inaccessible out of some implicit reasons. Users can not access the files in the drive via File Explore, and when they access the drive, Windows will pop up a window, asking you to reformat the drive. Of course, please DO NOT format the drive, or all your valuable data will be lost.
