Will restore ntfs from raw

Restoring an NTFS partition from a RAW state can be a difficult task, but there are several methods that you can try.

1. Use data recovery software: There are many specialized software tools for data recovery from damaged or formatted drives. Some of the most common and effective tools include TestDisk, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and Recuva. Utilities of this type will help scan your hard drive for a lost NTFS partition and possibly restore it to working condition.

2. Take your hard drive to professional data recovery services: If you do not have experience working with similar utilities or if they did not lead to a result, then the next step may be to seek help from professional companies for solving problems with the structure of file systems (data recovery services). Experts will use more advanced hardware and software to perform operations to correct errors in the MFT (Master File Table) file and restore the NTFS partition.

3. Try using the chkdsk command: If your hard drive is running the Windows operating system, you can try checking the integrity of the file system using the chkdsk (Check Disk) tool. Open a command prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
“`
chkdsk /f X:
“`
Replace the “X” with the letter of the non-working RAW partition. This scan may take some time as it will fix MFT file errors or other data structure problems.

It is important to note that when working with damaged data, it is always recommended to create backup copies before starting the recovery process to prevent information loss.
