As stated at the very
beginning to avoid exponential aggravation: All manufacturers have these diagnostics. Your problem is exactly why better manufacturers provide these diagnostics. If not provided, then use another machine to burn a bootable CD (or USB stick) with the diagnostic from the disk drive manufacturer. Idea is to learn what is wrong long before trying to fix anything ... so that data is not lost and so that the problem is not made exponentially more complex.
Chkdsk is to fix something after damage results. Is not a diagnostic tool. Is not for finding defects before damage results. A diagnostic could have answered that long ago.
