Re: HDD showing as RAW, Test Disk saying disk is too small?

I've copied all data to another hard drive, removed partition and made new one in windows. All is working fine now and no warnings in Testdisk.

I also runned SMART diagnostics and there was warning:
(C7) Interface CRC Error Count 98 98 0 1298 attention

Re: HDD showing as RAW, Test Disk saying disk is too small?

I have similar problem... suddenly my partition went RAW but Testdisk can list the files. There is also a problem with heads per cylinder value. My value is 60 and testdisk says it should be 255... I don't know if that matters or not.
Fiona, can you explain steps to rebuild my partition to be usable ...
