I'm totally lost, please help.
I have an Alienware that is about 7 years old. I've never had an issue until about 2 weeks ago. So I decided to factory reset it. I have 3 hard drives in it. Two 1 tb and a 3 tb. Before I did the restore I took all but my main drive out that had Windows installed on it (1 tb drive). After the restore, I then place the other drives back in (this is where I think I screwed up and should have left them in so Windows could have renamed them) well the 1tb showed up with all the files no problem, but the 3tb shows zero space and wants me to format before use and states it RAW. That drive has my life on it, My dad past away in June of last year and all that I have of him is on this drive. Please help me.

Run TestDisk, select the disk, Advanced, select the partition that Windows see as raw, Boot, RebuildBS, List.
If you can see your files, choose Write, confirm, Quit and restart your computer.
