Hello,

I have an IDE hard drive with two partitions, but suddenly one partition shows a RAW file system and the other NTFS.

How can I recover the files that were on the RAW partition that no longer opens?

Please help me

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 10.0.2

Hello!

Maybe this discussion could help you.

Best regards.

Just type the command "chkdsk D:" (for the D: partition) in cmd.exe to scan D:. If the NTFS format has indeed been converted to RAW, as I experienced, Windows will clearly indicate that there are defective clusters. To fix the errors, type the command: "chkdsk D: /F" still in cmd.exe...
In one minute the problem was resolved, the partition was once again recognized as NTFS by Windows, all data intact, etc.

Thank you! I was able to recover the use of my hard drive and, in the process, my data.
