Do anything you want but modifying your HD. If you want to recover your "loss" data don't play with the HD modifying any configuration or partition on it.

There are some tools able to read data of your HD when your system is telling you the HD is not readable. I have been recovering loss data with GetDataBack, and for this operation you will need another HD, because the tool rescues the data from the original damaged HD and copy all in the new HD. It doesn't modify the damaged HD at all.

When all the info has been restored in the new HD, you could use a developer's tool to recover the damaged HD and format it properly. If it is not a mechanical issue, your HD could be normally recovered.

You could have a look at this thread for more info about the possibilities you have:

Good luck
