Hard Drive data missing

Ok so today I was putting some data on an SSD and replaced this hard drive with the SSD copied what ever files. Now I plug the hard drive back in and notice that some games are not installed on Steam when they should be. At this point I go to the drive properties and do error checking and now almost 700GB of data is gone or maybe not indexed.

 

What can I do? ChkDsk isn't reporting any bad sectors

 

Windows 8.1, hard drive is a 1TB Samsung SpinPoint

 

also when installing games I was getting some disk write error. Also I changed the name of the drive and said I didn't have permission to change the drive but it changed anyway.

 

edit did a scan and with GetDataBack Simple and it did find some stuff if not all of it but they want you to pay for a license

Did you move your Steam Library folder too? Your games are likely still on the drive, but Steam needs to know where they are located.

I didn't move the Steam games at all, all my music and many non-steam games have disappeared, I've installed Recurva and seems to have found the files but the scan takes 2 hours.
