How to recover files from RAW filesystem.


"RAW filesystem" issue typically occurs when the filesystem type information is missing or inconsistent between several system tables. Such an issue is often associated with external drives unplugged without "Safely removing" them first. The tables often get damaged during unsafe removal.
The "RAW filesystem" is generally recovered quite well. The typical scenario is to recover data from a device with a RAW filesystem, then format the device and copy the recovered data back to the device.
The most typical symptom of RAW filesystem is that Windows prompts "You need to format the disk before you can use it"

Important: do not format the disk if you need to recover data from it.

  1. Make sure you have enough free space on a known-good drive or on a network to hold all the recovered data.
  2. Download, install, and run ReclaiMe File Recovery software.(This requires a license,so please search for the same software with crack)
  3. Identify the drive with a RAW filesystem in the device list. Most likely, it will have RAW listed as a filesystem type.

  4. Double click that drive to start recovery.
  5. The files are displayed as soon as they are discovered.
  6. Select the file(s) or folder(s) you want to recover, and click Save button on the toolbar. Alternatively, click Save and select Save All from the menu.
  7. After data is copied, verify that the files were recovered correctly by actually opening and reviewing them.
  8. Once the successful recovery is confirmed, reformat the drive and put it back to use.
