Bad sectors are not software problems: they are major physical problems meaning your HD's life is at an end. Neither scandisk nor any other software can repair bad sectors on your HD, they can only mark those areas to keep other programs trying to reach those dead spots.
You lost the folders because of those bad sectors and there is no way you can get them back. Back up your HD as soon as possible and get yourself a new one because the bad sectors will spread like a disease in no time and you'll soon be unable to work.

I would get a new drive and get it going first, then copy your files off this drive as soom as possible. Hopefully you have them backed up.
The drive is likely failing. You want to use it as little as possible.
