🔻Prepare: Restore Data from Raw Drives
When the drive goes RAW, it becomes inaccessible and unusable. To use it again, you need to format the RAW drive to NTFS/FAT32. You can just go ahead if you don’t have important data stored on it.

People looking for solutions on fixing a raw Disk Structure are usually not looking to wipe the drive. Also, you start the video in an extremely loud audio and keep repeating the acronym. You should let the viewer know what CHKDSK stands for. Check Disk... That simple and you do no longer have to continue repeating the acronym.

Ofcourse, this type of software cannot be free.

In short, If your data is not so much important then just format and use.

But if the data is very much valuable for you then you have to pay for it by purchasing this type of software.

This cost Rs 2000-Rs 3000

They know most of people has this issue therefore they will not give you free services.

I have tell you the clear cut information regarding this.

What a joke of a video, without losing data? Every detail of this presentation is about formatting or erasing a drive, that's complete data loss. Oh, the recovery software, no guarantee on what you can recover. I have never seen any recovery software guaranty to fix raw drives without losing data, because they cant, but they continue with false statements. I can tell you from experience, you have a raw drive, you will have data loss. Companies like this one do not provide its customers with solutions, it would cost them there business model.
