RAW drive

overhaul · 07-07-2008, 08:07 AM

currently running windows xp on a gaming machine. Lots of processor, ram, and hard drive space. Im running a game on a slave drive with 2
partitions. 120 gig is set for game, and rest is for updates. I went
to retrive an update from the dirve and discovered than the drive was RAW.
Is there anything i can do to retrive this drive.

Hi,

Try this: Have you "lost" a hard drive, partition or files in your computer?

Run diagnostic tools from the HDD manufacturer.

Also - TestDisk again:
A. At the first window, select “No Log” and press the <Enter> key.
B. Select which drive to analyse, choose “Proceed” and <Enter>.
C. Select partition type – Intel if it’s a PC then <Enter>.
D. Choose Advanced > press <Enter>.
E. Choose Boot > press <Enter>.

New screen - please post back with a screenshot.

How to post a screenshot.

MST? Isn't that an installation file extension?
