Need help from you all geek and suggest how I can recover.

Thank you
This bad boy has 5 logical partitions worth 78 GB each named as H, I, J, K, L, M, V. The rest drives were not formatted but partitioned and not used W, X, Y, Z. (195.31 GB each).
The screen shots are shown below.
This drive does not have OS installed. Other laptops can access the logical drives with an ID/PASS, working as a shared workstation. Education, Music, Video, etc.
On some random time, I got delayed write failed with infamous $Mft.
Few screen shots are shown below.
Windows- Delayed write Failed.
a. Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Device\hardDiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume6\installedSoftware\DB2\sqllib\java\jdk\jre\lib\fonts. The data has been lost. The error maybe caused by failure of a computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.
b. \Device\hardDiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume6\$Mft
c. \Device\hardDiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1\$Mft
d. \Device\hardDiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1\.
iv. Device manager shows as
When accessing I: drive and a folder under it, the disc immediately disconnects
And throws the pop ups like below for $Mft
Tried using Dos Navigator, but when I select that folder, it does the same thing, disconnects from device manager and starts throwing $Mft errors as below.
(v) write delayed screens
(vi) The drive still shows in device manager.
(vii) since it is gone from Disk management, now running re-scan hardware devices, kicks out completely,
(viii)
Shutdown the computer normally, and plug-out the cable from SATA and re-connect it will show in device manager, but I have to re-scan and re-activate to make it online.
Once the drive is invisible, it does not show in disk manager as well.
When re-activated the disk1, then the offline state converts to online.
(ix) Now the device manager shows as well, the second disk, yes write cache is disabled.
I immediately tried to backup data on all the drives. The Windows device manager did not see the drive. I had shutdown win2k server (that is where these 2 drives are), changed the SATA Cable and SATA port. Reboot, the drive is visible in device manager.
Now I see offline under windows drive manager as a second drive “Drive 1”
I right click and activate disk. It comes back online.
(x) Windows explorer shows folders too, but when click on certain folder, that is the ‘main’ folder I am looking for, the disconnect happens again with $Mft write delayed errors.
To me the logical drive is bad. How can I recover data from these logical drives?
Please suggest the next step.
