I have a WD internal HD which I just use for storage and has become RAW. I followed the testdisk instructions (including running as admin). I press "Write" and after I reboot. After he reboot, testdisk failed to create a partion or filesystem so the HD isstill RAW.
Any ideas on why the "Write" failed?
Thanks and I would also appreciate suugestions for what to try next.

Re: Write Failed
Run TestDisk, Advanced, select the partition, choose List (or Boot, List). Do you see your files ?
If it's the case, run "cmd" (right click run as administrator), "chkdsk /f d:" (replace d: by the correct drive letter)
