Looks like your file system is damaged?
Woud it be possible to run Deeper Search?
If you're using win7, it might be possible that partitions created using win7 are aligned on megabyte boundary and TestDisk find them using Deeper Search.

I should know what file system did you have before?
It makes only sense to get your data off if you have the right file system.
RAW only means, it's unformatted, formatting doesn't help at all.
It would make your situation more difficult.
But there is a trick to diagnose it using NTFS.
But I'll only do it, if you know that exactly.

Start TestDisk.
Confirm through until you see the menu Analyse (your affected disk should be selected).
Don't confirm at Analyse but Advanced.
Now check the menu Type and press enter.
Check NTFS and press enter.
Confirm at Boot with enter.
Highlight Rebuild BS and hit Enter.
Rebuild your BS will be in progress.
Normally, it takes some minutes.
If it's finished, please post the infos or upload a screen.
If you see a menu List, please highlight it and press enter.
Please let us know, do you see your data or an error message.
To get back to the previous screen, easily press q for Quit.

Infos will follow.
