Hard Drive turned Raw after Fresh OS install
Posted: 17 May 2012, 15:32
Hello.
I have been reading these forums, and others in search of a solution for my issue.
I just had refreshed my system, added a new HDD and Power Supply. I formatted my primary Hard drive and installed win 7 again.
Now, one of my backup drives is showing up as Raw.... I have a lot of info there.
I do not have actual partitions in my drives, i just use the physical one.
testdisk says structure is ok, but the system files are damaged. I know the Drive is good. the particular drive that i have issues with is not that old nor used as much.
here are some images just in case. I am a real noob with Hard drives, first time this has ever happened....
I tried the steps that were on another thread (with an Italian guy) and did not figure it out...
Also, i tried running Chkdsk /r option but windows would not allow me to...
Help pls! Thank you in advance
