My goal here is to retrieve some files from the drive before initialize it and lose everything.
Thanks for any lead on how to deal with this issue.
The drive, no doubt, has weak heads and/or degraded media ("bad sectors") and possibly a corrupted MFT (Master File Table). "Fixing" the problem just attempted to repair errors in the MFT and did nothing about the bad sectors/weak heads and probably discarded files whose MFT entries (orphaned files) were unreadable.
Windows wouldn't boot because files need to do that are corrupted/unreadable. If you had cloned the drive before attempting the repair, you might have been able to recover your data from the clone in fairly good condition. The drive itself is not repairable.
I would suggest you clone the drive with ddrescue or
HDDSuperTool and then try to recover what you can from the clone using DMDE or other data recovery program. You might have to settle for a "raw" recovery" for many files.
