While copying a number of large files from my old 750GB -My Passport- HDD, (uses an external 3.0 USB connection), to an internally mounted SSD, the Passport drive would suddenly stop in the middle of the process. I would have no choice but to use the Windows Safe Removal option and unplug it from the USB port. I then would reconnect it and try again. In each attempt, I would succeed in copying some of the files to the SSD before the HDD Passport would crash and stop.
This happened 3 or 4 times and then suddenly the Passport failed to be recognized by my Windows O/S, (I have Windows 10 Pro). I changed and tried another USB 3.0 cable, which I knew was definitely good and I even tried changing the drive letter in the Disk Management system. That didn't work and I changed the drive letter back to what it was. When I plug the drive into a USB 3.0 port, Windows opens a note saying: -Select to choose what happens with removable drives-.
I tried changing the removal policy to another option but that didn't work either. The Disk Management sees the drive as -RAW- and if I reformat the drive, I'll lose about 400GB of important data and photographs dating back to 2004. So I then tried your instruction using an elevated prompt and chkdsk. -.
When I tried the elevated command prompt; -Chkdsk D:- the command prompt would abort the ChkDsk procedure stating: -The type of the file system is NTFS.-
Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data.-
Unable to determine volume version and state-.
When I tried the elevated command prompt; -Chkdsk D: /f- the command prompt would abort the ChkDsk procedure and simply state: -The type of the file system is NTFS. Unable to determine volume version and state-.
This doesn't sound good to me. Do you think that I've lost the data or do you suppose one of the recovery programs can get it back?
Thanks,
Rich

Hello i just made mistake choosing the wrong disk to be formatted. I wanted to format my sd card but I formatted my computer drive instead to fs=fat32, the progress is already 50% until then I realized it. I was panicked dont know what to do and restart my pc. my computer-s drive was gone and I found your video. I already scan my internal hdd using hetman but there-s nothing found. I also check using different recover app but found nothing too. The int hdd was divided into 3 drives before and now it-s only 1. Why theres nothing file found after scanning? Is there step I missed?

Im having issues just trying to get the drive detected on my computer. Then I can use disk management to confirm a raw drive is present and use recovery software. I got it to detect once on an amd system by plugging data cable into while at desktop and disk management after a bit recognized it. But no luck on Intel system. I'm trying to recover data from a family members system that had a virus. It converted it from ntfs to raw

Thank you Good Man !!! I took the advice from 3:19 and can use my data on the external SSD again :)))) Before that I was nervous all day because I didn't know if I would be able to recover the data: /
The disk was in the NTFS file system (for some reason the disk was not recognized. (RAW date ...)).

I have a serious problem. My hard disk showed as RAW and it was showing on Windows, but then I did something -clever- by going and changin the order of my hard disks on the BIOS settings. After that my hard disk is not visible even on Windows. Does anybody know what to do after that?

When I scanned my damaged drive I can see -deep analise- and NTFS of my drive. When I explore NTFS my folders are all empty, but when I go to deep analize I can see all of them grouped by type like pdf etc. What do I do wrong? I want to backup them from the NTFS option

CHKDSK restored (some) of the data and shows the disk is almost full. BUT it doesn't let me access it. It says the hidden folder does not actually contain the files.
Quite useless! Never use chkdsk! I keep forgetting that!
