HDD inaccessible after chkdisk

[chickenbeef]

Greetings.

I'm having a problem with my external hdd. When i put my pc on it ran chkdsk on the drive before i could log on to the pc.

Once i logged on and tried to view the contents of a partition on the drive i get an error message saying the drive is inaccessible, furthermore when i try to access the partition my pc lags like a ****!

I can however access the other partition of the drive without any problems (and due to murphys law, this is the empty partition and the one i am trying to access has all my important data on it)

I have the program Seagate File recovery for windows and i can access/view the files on my hard drive through this piece of software. However, when i go to disk management it shows the partition i am trying to access is 100% free, so basically it says it's empty. The only option i have in disk management is to format or delete the partition.

Is there anyway i can restore my hdd back to normal? I don't want to have to recover everything from my hdd using the seagate software because that's going to take ages (800GB worth of stuff)

Any help would be appreciated

Just use the Seagate Software even if it takes forever you will get your stuff back.
