Lost contact with NTFS partition, chkdsk / f can't repair

I have one physical disk with a FAT partition c: (on which I have NT 4.0) and then an NTFS partition d: which I no longer can access. Whenever I try to access the d: partition, it can't and recommends that chkdsk should be run. chkdks /f takes very long time and when its finally ready it complains that there is not enough diskspace to correct an error in index $I30 for a file. It also inserts an attribute in file 8 ($badclus). Since the problem seemed related to the microsoft article Q153973, I tried that but that didn't help.
