Re: WD HDD 2 TB turned RAW, asking to format, data not accessible

Hi

I checked the link provided.

"Please duplicate your drive using ddrescue as described in the manual."

What does duplicate your drive using ddrescue mean? Is there any manual.

Are there many bad sectors on my drive? Will I be able to recover data considering large number of broken sectors ...

WD HDD 2 TB turned RAW, asking to format, data not accessible

I have a 2 TB Western Digital (WD) HDD. It went RAW. The drive is detected by my machine but when I try to access the data by double clicking on the drive, it gives the following error:
"You need to format the drive F: before you use it.
Do you want to format it?"

Kindly advise. I am new to all ...
