@@doomtoob Not really, no. Your best bet is finding a free data recovery software or one that offers free trials. The market is very saturated though and companies are not offering free services due to high demand. If your files weren’t that important, just move on and learn from this. Start backing up ALL important files unto multiple storages.
Irresponsible and dangerous advice that is nothing but an advert designed to get you into more trouble and in need of the paid software! I imagine everyone who has clicked 'like' did so before they followed the advice! Always work on a clone! Never format your damaged hard drive unless it's empty or has no data you want on it, especially if you're not using fast format!
Glad I saw this, I hate these fucking videos. I just restored my drives gpt partition and used chkdsk to fix it, and none of these advert videos was any fucking help.
Well yeah its pretty obvious but im kind of desperate right now bcs I dont wanna buy another 1TB drive to copy everything too, I want NTFS to function on this drive without reformat.
I've tried Wondershare Recoverit to finally recover my files but it's telling me to pay 69.99 just to do it, I hate these money hungry softwares, such a waste of time.
Non of this is working for me, Windows can´t complete formating, disk management gives out CRC-Error, MiniTool Partition Wizard doesn´t let me do anything with that drive and even in Windows installation I can´t delete and recreate that drive. It happened when my StraightPower failed right after warrenty (yes, it was a 2008 series which got world wide fame for bad caps) and it was laying around for years. Would I have any chance recovering the drive using Linux?
This title is misleading I think. My USB has the error of Raw files but all my attempts fail because they are RAW!! So... How come all these suggestions fail precisely because of the initial error.

Is it possible to restore a partition that was previously showing as RAW and is now showing as unformatted on an SSD? But I need to keep the data intact on that partition as it's for an xbox that won't work without that raw partition being present
Hi there, thank you for your question! It can be challenging but may be possible with data recovery software. Firstly, stop using the SSD to prevent further data loss, then install data recovery software like Recoverit on another computer, connect the SSD, and perform a deep scan to recover your data to a different storage device. After successful data retrieval, try repairing the RAW or unformatted partition using the "chkdsk /f" command in Command Prompt, ensuring it's recognized by your Xbox for compatibility. However, if software methods fail, consider professional data recovery services.
Tried the convert command as shown in the video but same message again Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process
bro plz help me to get my very precius data which is stuck in my sd card that shows " the directory name is invalid" multiple times every single time i try to connect it to my pc. bro plz help me to get out of this.
is it also possible to clone the local raw drive itself to a new drive? my raw drive is custom and is made to function with a wii but im unsure if any of these methods to read the drive may break functionality for the wii
Hi there, thank you for your question! It is possible to do so using disk cloning software. However, since your raw drive is custom and made to function with a Wii, it is possible that cloning the drive may break its functionality with the Wii.
I tried method 2. Convert is not available for RAW drives. Wondershare Recoverit doesn't found any files. I also tried other software like EaseUS Data Recovery and R-Studio. Nothing helps. :(

None of these worked for me I bought a new sd card and couldn’t format it all without it saying that it’s raw which obviously because it’s new , but then I tried to formatt it on my chromebook and it worked ! If anyone is having trouble formatting your new sd card maybe try finding another device to do it on!
Is this software completely free? I have a total of 12gb data stored in my corrupted usb. I tried different softwares but didn't work for me because I had to pay for them. I'm a student and I couldn't possibly afford to purchase them.
Hi there, thank you for your question! The trial version of Recoverit only supports scanning and previewing files. If you need to download files, you need to purchase the full product. At the same time, Recoverit provides a free version, which supports free download of 100M data.
sir g my pen drive is 128 GB but when I put it in my laptop it shows the format is not happening windows problem showing and when I go to cmd format it shows only 121 MB but the actual capacity was 128 GB What I do
Hi there, thank you for your question. If your 128GB pen drive is only showing as 121MB in capacity, it's possible that the drive has some issues with its partition or file system. You can try the following steps to resolve this problem: Use Disk Management: Press Win + X and choose "Disk Management." In Disk Management, locate your USB drive. It might have unallocated space. Right-click on the unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume." Follow the wizard to create a new partition with the full 128GB capacity. Check for Hidden Partitions: Sometimes, pen drives have hidden partitions that occupy a portion of the drive's capacity. Use a tool like "DiskPart" in the Command Prompt to clean and repartition the drive: Open Command Prompt as an administrator. Type diskpart and press Enter. Type list disk and press Enter to see a list of available disks. Identify your 128GB pen drive and note its disk number. Type select disk X (replace X with your disk number) and press Enter. Type clean and press Enter to remove all partitions. Type create partition primary and press Enter. Type format fs=ntfs quick (or format fs=fat32 quick if you prefer) and press Enter. Once the format is complete, you should have the full capacity available.
I'm stuck with a RAW SD Card from 8GB big, that can't be formatted nor can't be chkdsk-ed in Windows 10. Converting didn't help, diskpart didn't help, defragging didn't help, formatting via a 3rd party software gave me 99% and an error "Format failed". Seems like the CD card is corrupt to the bone!
There seems to be a bug with chkdsk in Windows 7. I have a USB stick that was formatted by a CCTV DVR, chkdsk fails with RAW error, but selecting properties -> tools-> error-checking correctly recognizes it as FAT32, and can check & scan the drive. Weird!
Problem is that I want to recover all the data of my pen drive, and your methods require the disk formatation. How could I recover all my files on the disk. Tks a lot.
Hi there, thank you for your question! Generally, if you force unplug your SD card, USB, external hard drive or any other removable device quite frequently without using Safely Remove option, the partition table of the device will get corrupted and turn to RAW which is unreadable by Windows. And there you might get the disk formatting error message: "You need to format the disk in drive X before using it. However, this is not the only reason that can lead to the disk formatting error. There are other reasons, for example virus attack, corrupted Master Boot Record, partition loss, bad sectors, some computer file system corruption and more. But sorry that Recoverit software does not support to fix these errors, but Recoverit can help you recover files from inaccessible drive after you can format your external storage device. Even after formatting the data, the software cannot be 100% guaranteed to recover your data successfully.
It works! However, in the disk management, it won't let me change the exfat to ntfs, it will later on change to raw and, again, repeat the problem. I hope you can help me solve this. Thanks
Hi there, thank you for your question! Try use the Windows PowerShell to repair your disk. This is a more advanced command-line tool that can perform various tasks on your system. To use this, you need to open the Windows PowerShell as an administrator and type the following command: Repair-Volume -DriveLetter D -OfflineScanAndFix (Replace D with the letter of your disk). This will scan and fix your disk offline. After the repair is complete, restart your PC and check if the error is resolved. If none of the above methods work, you may need to use data recovery software such as Recoverit to retrieve your files .
Hi there, If your external hard disk is not showing up in disk management, it's possible that there is an issue with the connection between the hard disk and your computer. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: Check the cable and connections. Check if the hard disk is spinning up. Check if the hard disk is recognized on another computer. Check the power supply. Try data recovery software. Download Recoverit here: bit.ly/3ZoowNK If none of these steps work, it's possible that the hard disk has failed and may need to be replaced.
Hi there, Scanning bad sector on USB drive not completed... Every time 70% was scanned and suddenly "Wondershare Reoverit app" shut down.(70% scan complete == Recover-app shut down). Can you please let me know why this happen? Main error is: "Please insert a disk in USB drive" Through CMD errors: error1: CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives. error2: CONVERT is not available for RAW drives. When try to clean: DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready. See the System Event Log for more information. Formatting USB is not working in direct or CMD way . I already tried all the options that I watched on RUclips. If anyone know any other/best solution to format a USB please let me know. Thanks
Hi there, thank you for your question! Regarding the error message “Please insert a disk in USB drive”, it could be due to a damaged USB drive or a faulty USB port. You can try plugging the USB drive into a different port or computer to see if it works. If the problem persists, you can try using a different USB drive or contacting the manufacturer for assistance. As for the errors you encountered while trying to format the USB drive through CMD, it seems that the drive is in a RAW format, which is not compatible with the CHKDSK or CONVERT commands. You can try using the DiskPart utility to clean the drive and create a new partition. Here are the steps: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. Type "diskpart" and press Enter. Type "list disk" and press Enter to display a list of all the disks connected to your computer. Type "select disk X" (where X is the number of the USB drive) and press Enter. Type "clean" and press Enter to remove all the partitions from the USB drive. Type "create partition primary" and press Enter to create a new partition. Type "format fs=ntfs quick" and press Enter to format the partition as NTFS. If you encounter the error “DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready” while trying to clean the drive, it could be due to a faulty USB port or a damaged USB drive. You can try plugging the USB drive into a different port or computer to see if it works. If the problem persists, you can try using a different USB drive or contacting the manufacturer for assistance
My 5tb harddisk is courupted but the above methods are not working last method I can't understand 1)1st we have to format the disk and use the recovery app or am I wrong pls help mee
Hi there, thank you for your question! Since chkdsk correctly identifies the partition as NTFS, you might want to proceed with a filesystem check. Run the following command in an elevated Command Prompt: chkdsk H: /f The /f flag attempts to fix any issues found during the check. However, exercise caution, as chkdsk can potentially cause data loss in rare cases. Otherwise I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance.
For anyone reading this: I believe this is caused by HDD damage - the HDD software identifies too many bad sectors, basically your hdd is gone, and it changes it to raw format and read-only to protect the data. Your HDD is gone nothing more to do. Mine is 4 tb 95% full.. and I can`t retrieve anything.....

Firstly, stop using the SSD to prevent further data loss, then install data recovery software like Recoverit on another computer, connect the SSD, and perform a deep scan to recover your data to a different storage device. After successful data retrieval, try repairing the RAW or unformatted partition using the "chkdsk /f" command in Command Prompt, ensuring it's recognized by your Xbox for compatibility. However, if software methods fail, consider professional data recovery services.
Hi,
where will be the recovered files go to? can i relocate them if ever?
Tried the convert command as shown in the video but same message again
Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process
Recover it barely recovers anything if you have a big drive and does this work for raw disk mounted from a vdhx
Bro when I do that my pc rans into problem at the end I don’t know what to do help please
bro plz help me to get my very precius data which is stuck in my sd card that shows " the directory name is invalid" multiple times every single time i try to connect it to my pc. bro plz help me to get out of this.
Thank you soooo much!! The 3rd step was effective!!
hi, saw full video. your second method at 3:58 is it 100 fullproof !! does it harm/ loose data in the drive. I like to try, but bit apprehensive.
Same issue please answer
is it also possible to clone the local raw drive itself to a new drive? my raw drive is custom and is made to function with a wii but im unsure if any of these methods to read the drive may break functionality for the wii
Hi there, thank you for your question! It is possible to do so using disk cloning software. However, since your raw drive is custom and made to function with a Wii, it is possible that cloning the drive may break its functionality with the Wii.
Been having difficulties for days.i used most methods,didnt work.but the last method(disk management method).thanks alot buddy
Thanks it worked in my case the entire flash drive gone unrecognised so I make it recognised by creating new volume .

I use the recoverit before format my inaccessible SD card, and it worked
When i scan c (ssd)disk its showing error plz rescan then after its shut down and show critical process died
None of these worked for me I bought a new sd card and couldn’t format it all without it saying that it’s raw which obviously because it’s new , but then I tried to formatt it on my chromebook and it worked ! If anyone is having trouble formatting your new sd card maybe try finding another device to do it on!
Is this software completely free? I have a total of 12gb data stored in my corrupted usb. I tried different softwares but didn't work for me because I had to pay for them. I'm a student and I couldn't possibly afford to purchase them.
Hi there, thank you for your question! The trial version of Recoverit only supports scanning and previewing files. If you need to download files, you need to purchase the full product. At the same time, Recoverit provides a free version, which supports free download of 100M data.
if I right-click on the USB drive letter I see a circle rounding for minutes but nothing happend. What can I do?
sir g my pen drive is 128 GB but when I put it in my laptop it shows the format is not happening windows problem showing and when I go to cmd format it shows only 121 MB but the actual capacity was 128 GB What I do
Hi there, thank you for your question. If your 128GB pen drive is only showing as 121MB in capacity, it's possible that the drive has some issues with its partition or file system. You can try the following steps to resolve this problem:
Use Disk Management:
Press Win + X and choose "Disk Management."
In Disk Management, locate your USB drive. It might have unallocated space.
Right-click on the unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume."
Follow the wizard to create a new partition with the full 128GB capacity.
Check for Hidden Partitions:
Sometimes, pen drives have hidden partitions that occupy a portion of the drive's capacity. Use a tool like "DiskPart" in the Command Prompt to clean and repartition the drive:
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk and press Enter to see a list of available disks.
Identify your 128GB pen drive and note its disk number.
Type select disk X (replace X with your disk number) and press Enter.
Type clean and press Enter to remove all partitions.
Type create partition primary and press Enter.
Type format fs=ntfs quick (or format fs=fat32 quick if you prefer) and press Enter.
Once the format is complete, you should have the full capacity available.
thanks for such type of great video
It's asking me to purchase it, what must be done or it only works when one buys it?
i purchased it and still it is not working
I'm stuck with a RAW SD Card from 8GB big, that can't be formatted nor can't be chkdsk-ed in Windows 10. Converting didn't help, diskpart didn't help, defragging didn't help, formatting via a 3rd party software gave me 99% and an error "Format failed". Seems like the CD card is corrupt to the bone!
I can't do all these things because the hard disk doesn't allow me access. Help please?
If I format it goes into kmode exception not handled
thanks a lot, this video is very helpful :D
Glad it helped!
Good information bro..
Thanks...
I have a 1 GB sd card but it shows 46mb capacity, what's wrong?
When I tried to format raw localdisk, blue screen appears with kmode exception not found and system restarts
Whenever i have completed my format process my laptop show an error
What could i do now
There seems to be a bug with chkdsk in Windows 7.
I have a USB stick that was formatted by a CCTV DVR, chkdsk fails with RAW error, but selecting properties -> tools-> error-checking correctly recognizes it as FAT32, and can check & scan the drive. Weird!
Thank you so much, Method 3 get the job done
convert is not available for RAW drives
funny thing is that I ran chkdsk like three weeks ago and it worked wtf??
Without losing any data?
@@devilhunter6534 yeah, then the whole HDD broke but I still recovered a lot with disk recovery
@@lukebruce5234 great
I cant read the convert promot from the screen
Problem is that I want to recover all the data of my pen drive, and your methods require the disk formatation. How could I recover all my files on the disk. Tks a lot.
Hi there, thank you for your question! Generally, if you force unplug your SD card, USB, external hard drive or any other removable device quite frequently without using Safely Remove option, the partition table of the device will get corrupted and turn to RAW which is unreadable by Windows. And there you might get the disk formatting error message: "You need to format the disk in drive X before using it. However, this is not the only reason that can lead to the disk formatting error. There are other reasons, for example virus attack, corrupted Master Boot Record, partition loss, bad sectors, some computer file system corruption and more.
But sorry that Recoverit software does not support to fix these errors, but Recoverit can help you recover files from inaccessible drive after you can format your external storage device. Even after formatting the data, the software cannot be 100% guaranteed to recover your data successfully.
It works! However, in the disk management, it won't let me change the exfat to ntfs, it will later on change to raw and, again, repeat the problem. I hope you can help me solve this. Thanks
but bro i don't want format the disk how can i fix the problem without formatting the disk
Hi there, thank you for your question! Try use the Windows PowerShell to repair your disk. This is a more advanced command-line tool that can perform various tasks on your system. To use this, you need to open the Windows PowerShell as an administrator and type the following command: Repair-Volume -DriveLetter D -OfflineScanAndFix (Replace D with the letter of your disk). This will scan and fix your disk offline. After the repair is complete, restart your PC and check if the error is resolved. If none of the above methods work, you may need to use data recovery software such as Recoverit to retrieve your files .
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! I NEARLY LOST MY MINECRAFT SERVER
thanks your 3 idea worked 😀😀
my harddrive is just 2 months old, it is showing healthy status, but still not detected by the recovery software
Hi there,
If your external hard disk is not showing up in disk management, it's possible that there is an issue with the connection between the hard disk and your computer. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the cable and connections.
Check if the hard disk is spinning up.
Check if the hard disk is recognized on another computer.
Check the power supply.
Try data recovery software. Download Recoverit here: bit.ly/3ZoowNK
If none of these steps work, it's possible that the hard disk has failed and may need to be replaced.
Hi there, Scanning bad sector on USB drive not completed... Every time 70% was scanned and suddenly "Wondershare Reoverit app" shut down.(70% scan complete == Recover-app shut down). Can you please let me know why this happen?
Main error is: "Please insert a disk in USB drive"
Through CMD errors:
error1: CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
error2: CONVERT is not available for RAW drives.
When try to clean: DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready.
See the System Event Log for more information.
Formatting USB is not working in direct or CMD way . I already tried all the options that I watched on RUclips. If anyone know any other/best solution to format a USB please let me know. Thanks
Hi there, thank you for your question! Regarding the error message “Please insert a disk in USB drive”, it could be due to a damaged USB drive or a faulty USB port. You can try plugging the USB drive into a different port or computer to see if it works. If the problem persists, you can try using a different USB drive or contacting the manufacturer for assistance.
As for the errors you encountered while trying to format the USB drive through CMD, it seems that the drive is in a RAW format, which is not compatible with the CHKDSK or CONVERT commands. You can try using the DiskPart utility to clean the drive and create a new partition. Here are the steps:
Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
Type "diskpart" and press Enter.
Type "list disk" and press Enter to display a list of all the disks connected to your computer.
Type "select disk X" (where X is the number of the USB drive) and press Enter.
Type "clean" and press Enter to remove all the partitions from the USB drive.
Type "create partition primary" and press Enter to create a new partition.
Type "format fs=ntfs quick" and press Enter to format the partition as NTFS.
If you encounter the error “DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready” while trying to clean the drive, it could be due to a faulty USB port or a damaged USB drive. You can try plugging the USB drive into a different port or computer to see if it works. If the problem persists, you can try using a different USB drive or contacting the manufacturer for assistance

My 5tb harddisk is courupted but the above methods are not working last method I can't understand 1)1st we have to format the disk and use the recovery app or am I wrong pls help mee
Did u find any solution ?
3:42 😮
It said windows was unable to complete the format
CONVERT is not available for RAW drives.
What if this is happening on my boot drive? I can’t even open windows and I am receiving this error
same
Nothig I tried here worked....
Thank you sir ❤️🥰🥰
this is a scam company do not do this
Kicker: File system properties say is NTFS, chkdsk says that it's RAW. :/
Hi there, thank you for your question! Since chkdsk correctly identifies the partition as NTFS, you might want to proceed with a filesystem check. Run the following command in an elevated Command Prompt:
chkdsk H: /f The /f flag attempts to fix any issues found during the check. However, exercise caution, as chkdsk can potentially cause data loss in rare cases. Otherwise I would recommend taking it to a professional for further assistance.
I wonder if iIcan use the Recoverit tool for once, so I don't pay for year.
Sorry our license is yearly.
So my hard drive just sat at "formatting" for about 20m... So I guess I'm just screwed.
When i try to format , pc restarts .what to do
thank you very much sir to fix my problem of raw exfat problem with your guide.
Glad it helped! Please don't forget to subscribe to our channel.
For anyone reading this: I believe this is caused by HDD damage - the HDD software identifies too many bad sectors, basically your hdd is gone, and it changes it to raw format and read-only to protect the data. Your HDD is gone nothing more to do. Mine is 4 tb 95% full.. and I can`t retrieve anything.....
Recoverit! is this an actual business? For three weeks I have been trying to get you guys to speak to me over the phone before I used my credit card on your websit, but to no avail. Every time I am call, I spend 1 to 2 hours on the phone and get to speak with no one. Can I speak someone????
None of these work for my micro sd card... even brand new ones... driving me insane
2:41 it's worked thank you

It's not work convert g /fs:NTFS
Invalid drive specification
When i put in a USB adapter it works just fine and shows FAT32. Put it back in the native SD card reader, RAW.
Didn’t help I’m trying to fix a damaged D drive (not external) and I can’t afford to pay the rent or buy food so I’m lost it’s being treated as a raw drive -it kept going missing then I found a way to reveal hidden and damaged files/drives and now I’m stuck
Hi there, thank you for your question! Did you try Restore system to a previous point? Try rescan disks in Disk Management otherwise it might be an issue with that drive itself and u might need to take it to a professional.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware tried all the above nothing worked now my pc runs slower than ever -no virus or storage issues or many background running apps. Think I’ll have to take it to a professional so maybe I can afford to do that in about 3 yrs I hope. I guess pc’s are designed to fail to make you continue spending money I guess it’s purposely done like this… Shame as it need it to help me find a job. Thanks for the reply
