Answers:
When you run chkdsk did you try the /r switch:
chkdsk /r (space between the k and /)
This switch makes chkdsk identify discouraging sectors and move information from there to a readable sector. its the subsequent step from chkdsk /f which attempts to fix the bad sector
tTry using a usb go underwater drive or try burning the data to a dvd or cd, if it won't permit you then you may not know how to recover your data.
Check and see if the permissions own changed to that folder and if so reset them back to you.
Try a freeware program call Unstoppable Copier it will copy everything off the drive and will consequently attempt to reconstruct the files, I've used it on a HDD that be on it's last leg and recovered roughly 90% of the files.
