Re: Fixing RAW partition, used to be NTFS
I've tried pretty much everything I can find in TestDisk... I fixed the Boot Sector, repaired the MFT, and rewrote the partition table. A Ubuntu LiveCD can locate and identify the partition with no trouble, but Windows still thinks it's RAW. What do I do next?

Re: Fixing RAW partition, used to be NTFS
I did. In fact, I even went so far as to boot my system from a Linux LiveCD and run TestDisk from there as root. Windows still refuses to believe the partition is anything but RAW.

Fixing RAW partition, used to be NTFS
An NTFS partiton on one of my hard drives (data only, not bootable) got corrupted somehow, and my system (Win7 x64) can't mount it anymore. The Disk Management tool displays it as RAW.
I ran TestDisk, and it was able to correctly identify the partition as NTFS. I was able to look and confirm that ...
