Yes, running chkdsk on a drive that has physical problems will only make things worse.
You recover what data you can, then run a manufacturer's diagnostics test. It all depends what the original cause of the problem was................ you might get lucky but mostly you will probably not 
If the manufacturer's diagnostic shows no problems then you could try a reformat. Personally I would use something like dban to wipe the drive first.
