If this doesn't work then there are data recovery tools available. Try this first.
After keying 'chkdsk /f e:' I recieve a message saying the following:

'The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives'

Does this mean I cannot use chkdsk?

Also, I have found a data recovery program in which I am currently using. It's called 'ZAR 8.4'. Is this program worth using or should another one be used?
