Corrupted external hard drive?

Hi, I have a 1 TB WD external drive. I unplugged it while it was writing and got a windows file write error. Now when I plug it in it says its completely corrupted.

The drive had 600GB of stuff, so even if i can open it in Knoppix or something I'd have nowhere to put the files. So if there's anyway I can repair the filesystem that would be great. The drive had no physical damage, I think its just the filesystem that got corrupted.

Update:

Edit: solved problem with chkdsk
