CHKDSK Corrupted my files.

I had XP on my system for a while, and decided that it was stupid, so decided to
go back to 2K. So since I have two fixed disks, I already had a bunch of data on
the secondary one, as well as I backed up my documents on the second one.
Now after I installed 2K, and was in the process of installing drivers and restarting,
during the boot sequence 2k decides there is some thing wrong with my second fixed
disk and runs CHKDSK.
Whatever it was doing took a while, and I never did find out what it was doing because
my screen was polluted with fast moving text.
So after I regained control, I went to check out the drive, and everything seemed
to be alright aesthetically. But a majority of my images, text, wav and other files
are corrupted. Images are unreadable or scrambled, mp3s' and wav's are a bunch of
noise, and text is gibberish.
I want to recover these files. The reason I backed them up on that drive is to prevent
this sort of thing from happeneing. My theory is that 2k freaked out because the
drive was formatted with NTFS 5.1 and mistaked the drive as erroneous. Any suggestions?
