External Hard Drive suddenly says to format your Hard Drive

Posted on 9:31 PM by Unknown
External Hard Drive suddenly says to format your Hard Drive:

Most likely your Hard Drive filesystem changed to RAW
There's really not much to explain here.
I woke up this morning and couldn't open my D drive, which holds most if not all of my most important data, and could swear I lost all my files. I ran EasyRecovery and ALL my files were found, which is a relief, but here's the thing ... I don't have the space to recover these files onto another drive, but I can't access the D drive directly because it's ... well, inaccessible.

The filesystem also changed to RAW somehow, and I figured that might be a part of the problem. The drive's properties in device manager & explorer says the drive is working fine, I just can't access it.

Is it possible to make this drive operable again?
First try to do chkdsk /r .
If it doesn't let you because is RAW, You will need to get a Data recovery program. Like GetDataBack.
Get the program and download it. Then install it and run the application. After you have ran the application, Find the Hard Drive with the incorrect settings (RAW) and get all your information.
 
After you have extracted all of your info, you can then try to reformat that hard drive and it should work fine. The put all the info back again.
 
Hope it works. :)
