Harddisk is RAW

I have a problem with my harddisk

Suddely it became RAW does anyone know how to fix this issue





I'm running windows 10 and it is an internal drive

Do NOT attempt to write anything to the drive. Otherwise you may lose data that is important to you. You can likely recover most if not all the data on your drive. Data recovery is beyond the scope of this article. However, the free tool TestDisk can likely recover your data.



Once you’ve recovered your data, you can proceed to the next step to repair your RAW drive.

I use this disk for picutere, data, games and downloads
I was working on an sddisk, trying to format it

How many partitions did you have in that drive ?
I also see that you have Partition Wizard 9.1. Good.
Launch Partition Wizard. On the left Pane click on Partition Recovery Wizard > Next > Select your faulty Drive > Next > Full Disk > Next > QuickScan > Next. Allow the quick scan to complete. At the end of the quickscan you will get a window showing all the found partitions. Post a screenshot of it (only that Window. No need of any background). After you have taken the screenshot click on Cancel button on that Window and close PW. You can run it again if need be.

Do not straight away go to TestDisk unless you know how to use it.

There is only 1 partition on the harddrive

OK, Go ahead with Partition recovery Wizard. I don't think it is a partition lost since you have a drive letter. ( A volume had been created and a drive letter assigned to it but it has lost its format and has become unformatted. - File system corruption)
Post the screenshot requested.

If the partition is shown as existing - which I presume to be - then we will move on to TestDisk.

Time in Belgium now is 1700hrs. My time 2130 - already time to retire for the day. If you post the screenshot requested, I will be able to see it and instruct further only my tom morning. That is 9hrs from now. Have a good Sunday evening.

It's not ready yet
But thx for all the help

No problems. Let Quickscan complete and then post a fresh screenshot. I can already see your main partition starting @ Sector 2048 existing but having lost its file system . No NTFS seen. Rest are all anamolies that should be ignored.

When quick scan completes, post the screenshot and then put a tickmark by clicking on the square of the first partition shown, double click on it and check whether your files are shown in the new partition explorer Window.

Rest tomorrow morning. ( Was just listening to some music before hitting the sack)
