Hello nitros,
Welcome to the forums !!!
Recuva is not the program that you need for your problem.
Use the instructions in this post. Also the complete thread may be helpful for you.

After doing this, you should have an idea how bad your problem is.
Now try to backup what you can before the "bad" drive quits completely

You can also use this free utility to test and analyze your drives after backing up .
HD Tune 2.55 is the free version and available on the Download page.
