Not sure how technically savvy you are, but in a nutshell I mounted the drive on linux machine (using a microSD to SD adapter) and ran the program fsck on it which was able to repair the filesystem and preserve my data.
That's a good idea. I used chkdsk in Windows but I wonder if fsck wouldn't have created duplicates of all the files that chkdsk found errors in...
