What is your system and OS?
From your description the drive likely needs to be defragmented as over time the files get broken up across the drive platters making the drive work harder. There are tools which can fix this but before doing anything I strongly recommend backing up your stuff.

@gadgetsale let us know the exact make and model for your Hard Drive. I would suggest an external Hard Drive Enclosure to install this hard drive in. Then use a different computer to recover the files from your drive.

Data recovery is NEVER a DIY topic, send it to a professional recovery service.

Defragment it, make sure you have the correct drivers, clean off connectors with compressed air. If nothing else works, wait three days and it will magically work. Happened randomly with one of my HDDs.
