Not matter what you seem to attempt, despite there being files on that
partition: the operating system has problems with the HDD and this results in
'no files'.
This indicates a high degree of corruption on the disk.
Try calling NEC and see if they have a restore CD that you can buy or have.
Failing that you'll need a more phorensic approach to data recovery.
