Raw file system yak vipraviti. How to update data from a RAW disc. These are the main reasons why “RAW” is blamed

A number of computer users may get stuck due to the inability to gain access to their hard drive (or flash drive). In the operating system, such devices are assigned the “Raw” status, and their file structure becomes inaccessible to the user. In this article, I will take a detailed look at this dysfunction, identifying what to do in a situation where the file system is RAW, as well as how to turn NTFS, FAT32, what tools we can use and how to speed them up.

To understand what the RAW file system is and how to reverse the NTFS format, FAT32 must be taken into account due to the meaning of the term “RAW” itself. In the translation of Shakespeare's language, the lexeme “Raw” means “Syrian”, “Syrian material”. Apparently, in our category, this term refers to disks that are either not yet formatted, or the data structure on them is corrupted (damages in the MBR partition table and MFT file table, viruses, PC hardware problems, etc.).

To put it simply, RAW disks are not disks that are not recognized by the Windows OS for various reasons. In this case, Windows recommends formatting the disk in such a way that it will not work, because after formatting, the data on the disk will be lost.

Reasons why NTFS and FAT32 disks become RAW

Reasons why RAW disks appeared instead of the primary NTFS and FAT32 file systems:

Rapid connection of such disks (waste of voltage in the circuit, physical failure of them, problems in the work unit, etc.), as a result of which the integrity of the structure of the data on the disk is destroyed;
Problems with cables connecting the motherboard and hard drive;
The operation of virus programs that destroy the integrity of the downloader, the partition table, the file structure, etc.;
Bad sector on the hard drive, as a result of which the system structure on the hard drive is damaged;
Troubleshooting the installation or updated operating system;
Compliance with the hour of work with different hard disk partition managers;
The flash drive must not be connected to the USB port of the PC (in case of a flash drive);
The computer's motherboard also has problems.

How to rotate NTFS, FAT32 from RAW

Just try to restart your computer, the problem may be a weak character;
Check the thickness of the cable connections to the hard drive, try a different connector for connecting the hard drive on the motherboard, as well as a different USB connector on the computer when connecting an external flash drive. kakopchuvacha;
Check out the capabilities of the new CHKDSK() utility. Launch the command line as administrator and type in

chkdsk X: /f (de X is the letter of the RAW disk)

The "f" parameter means correcting problems on the disk, so that the CHKDSK utility does not just look for problems, but also corrects them.

I also appreciate that this command is relevant, first of all, for disks that were formatted in the NTFS file system. If you can’t upgrade the operating system, then go to another backup system disk or flash drive (you can select different Live CD collections), select System Update there, go to Additional Options and then to Command row, and there type the desired command.

If you cannot deny access to the command line on your PC, it is recommended that you connect your hard drive to another computer and start checking for errors on your drive from the new one.

Check out the capabilities of another system utility, sfc, which is designed to check the integrity of system files. Also run the command line under the name of the administrator, and write:

sfc /scannow

then press Enter.

If you have access to the operating system, you can easily check your computer for viruses using special anti-virus programs (for example, Web CureIt! or Malware-AntiMalware);
If the problem disk does not contain important information (or it is not valid), the problem disk (or flash drive) can be formatted. Click on the "Start" button, and in the search row type diskmgmt.msc, the disk management panel will appear. Right-click on the raw disk and select “Format” in the menu.

If you have a RAW file system, rotate it to NTFS, FAT32 - using other third-party programs

If you want to update the NFTS and FAT32 file systems, use the functionality of special programs that can help you. I use such programs as Recuva and TestDisk.

Recuva

One of the most popular programs for updating lost files is Recuva. Please install and launch this product, select the option to update all files, select the problem disk, select the detailed analysis option and click “Start”.

After completing the scan, the program will display a list of found files, check them and click “Renew”.

TestDisk

Another program that can help with the RAW file system is TestDisk.

Please install this program and then launch it as administrator.
Select the “Create” command and press Enter, select the raw disk with the cursor and press “Enter”.
After selecting the required partition table type, click on the entry, then select “Analyze” and “Quick Search” (you will be able to quickly find problematic partitions).
Once TestDisk has identified the problematic volumes, click “Write” to write the structure of the detected partition.

How to change the file system of a flash drive [video]

Most of all, I analyzed the problem if the file system is RAW. The most optimal tool for converting NTFS FAT32 is the use of the CHKDSK system command, as well as special programs that can update the file structure of the problem disk. If not one of the solutions I recommended did not turn out to be effective for you, then I recommend that you contact the service center - perhaps your hard drive has problems not of a software, but of a hardware nature, and it needs ground repairs.

In contact with

Hard disk drives (HDD), which for various reasons are not recognized by the operating system, are assigned RAW status, and access to them is denied. If you try to open such a disk, Windows will format it, or follow this recommendation, then all recorded information will be unknown. It is important to introduce a more acceptable format: NTFS or FAT32.

The number of problems with the HDD can be different, and, first of all, you need to work out something to update the format, and then identify them. Width axis:

Problems with the connection. For example, the user incorrectly connected the disk, or the electrical supply failed, and the file system was destroyed.
Damage to the cable that connects the drive to the board.
It's bad PZ, which destroys the structure of the data.
Thank you for what happened before reinstalling or updating the OS.
For flash drives, changing the format to RAW may also damage the USB ports.
Malfunction of the PC motherboard.

Update to the format

To update the NTFS format from RAW, try:

Updating the format with the help of special programs

If you try to check the HDD in the manner described above, the message appears: “CHKDSK is not valid for RAW disks,” you can use programs that allow you to update the NTFS format from RAW. Let's take a look at the most popular ones.

DMDE

DMDE is a utility that detects corrupted partitions in the file system and helps return the disk to NTFS status. After downloading and installing the programs, you need to do the following:

Launch the program.
Next, check the box opposite the words “Physical devices” and “Show parts”.
Select the affected disk and press OK. After this, the utility will find the RAW section and indicate it with a crossed icon. If this does not happen, perform an external scan (the corresponding button is located at the bottom of the window).
Now try opening the RAW volume and clicking “Update”, and then “Save settings”.
After this, as a rule, the HDD format is changed to NTFS.

Vikno program DMDE

IMPORTANT. If you want to change the NTFS status of the system disk and work from another PC, then after the operation is completed and the HDD is turned on the same computer, it is also displayed in RAW format, then you must immediately vantazhuvac Windows.

Recuva

I just found out that Vikoristan has a program that can fix RAW disks and flash drives. The procedure is as follows:

Launch the program, select "Renew all files", identify the corrupted disk and click "Start".
A utility to identify files with a damaged structure and correct the format to NTFS.

Vikno program Piriform Recuva

TestDisk

The third utility is one that updates the disk format. Just download and run it, and then:

Select “Create”, press the Enter key.
Then click on the problematic HDD, then press Enter again and the Analyze and Quick Search items.
After completing the command, select Write to update the information structure.

One of the problems with Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7 systems is the hard disk (HDD and SSD) or the disk partition with the RAW file system. You will receive the warning “Please format the disk first” and “The file system of the volume is not recognized”, and if you try to verify such a disk using standard Windows methods, you will receive the message “CHKDSK is not valid for RAW disks”.

The RAW disk format is a kind of “independence of the format”, or more precisely of the file system on the disk: this happens with new or faulty hard drives, and in situations where the disk becomes a RAW format - more often through system failures, incorrect Computer failure or problems with electrical supply, in which case the information on the disk is left unsafe.

This instruction tells you how to restore a disk from a RAW file system in various situations: if there is a new data, the system needs to update another file system with RAW, or if there are any important data on the HDD or SSD daily and formatted disk not a problem.

Checking the disk for defects and correcting file system defects

This option is the first thing you can try in all cases when a section or RAW disk appears. This is not always the case, but is safe and stagnant as in these cases, if the problem is with the disk or the partition with the data, or because the RAW system disk with Windows and the OS will not be affected.

If the operating system is working, just sign in these actions

Launch the command row as administrator (in Windows 10 and 8, the easiest way to do this is through the Win+X menu, or you can also right-click on the Start button).
Enter command chkdsk d: /f Then press Enter (this command has d: - the letter of the RAW drive that needs to be corrected).

Therefore, there are two options for development: if the disk becomes RAW through a simple file system crash, the conversion will begin and with great reliability you can restore your disk to the required format (namely NTFS) after completion Nya. If the problem on the right is serious, the command reads “CHKDSK is not valid for RAW disks.” This means that this method is not suitable for updating the disk.

In these situations, if the operating system does not start, you can use an update disk for Windows 10, 8 or Windows 7 or a distribution kit with the operating system, for example, a flash drive for storage (I’ll point it out for another example):

Required from the distribution kit (its capacity may be higher than the capacity of the installed OS).
Then on the screen, after selecting a movie, select “System Update” at the bottom of the screen, and then open the command row, or simply press Shift+F10 to open it (on some laptops Shift+Fn+F10).
In the command row, in order, the vikory team
diskpart
list volume(As a result of this command, it is possible to see that under any letter there is now a problem disk, or, more precisely, a partition, some parts of this letter can be separated from the one that was in the working system).
exit
chkdsk d: /f(de d: - the letter of the problem disk, as we found out at point 5).

Here the possible scenarios are the same as those described earlier: either everything will be corrected and after restarting the system will start as normal, or you will receive information about those that you cannot run chkdsk from a RAW disk, then you will likely see ways.

Easily format the disk or RAW partition for storing important data on a new

The first type is the simplest: it will work in these situations, if you save the RAW file system on a well-purchased disk (which is normal), or if the existing disk is either partitioned on a new file system, but there is no important data, then you will do not update the previous disk format required

In such a scenario, we can simply format the disk or partition it using standard Windows methods (in fact, you can simply rely on the formatting option in Explorer “To format the disk, format it right away)

If for some reason you cannot format the disk in this way, try also by right-clicking on the RAW partition (disk) and selecting “Delete volume”, and then clicking on the area of the disk that is not partitioned and “Create simple volume”. The Volume Creation Wizard prompts you to specify a drive letter and format it for your file system.

Note: all methods of upgrading a partition or RAW disk have a partition structure that is shown in the screenshot below: system GPT disk with Windows 10, the original EFI partition, mid-upgrade, system partition and partition E: , which is designated as the RAW file system (this information is I’m guessing I’ll help you better understand the terms and deposits).

Updating the NTFS partition from RAW in DMDE

It is much more unpleasant that on a disk that has become RAW, there is important data and it is necessary not only to format, but to rotate the section with this data.

In this situation, for starters, I recommend trying a cost-free program to update data and spent sections (and not just for anyone) DMDE, the official website of which is - dmde.ru(This supporter has a GUI version for Windows).

The process of updating the RAW section of the program will consist of the following steps:

Note: in my experiments, when I repaired a RAW disk in Windows 10 (UEFI + GPT) using DMDE, immediately after the procedure the system notified about disk failures (and the problematic disk was accessible and contained all the data that was previously available) and pronunciated restart your computer for their use. After re-installation everything worked fine.

If you use DMDE to fix the system disk (for example, if you connect it to another computer), be aware that this could result in a possible scenario: RAW will turn to the original file system, but if you connect it to another computer. Yutera or laptop, the OS is not available.

TestDisk RAW disk update

Another way to effectively search and update a RAW disk partition is the costless TestDisk program. The opposite version is more complex, the lower front option is more effective.

Uvaga: Take on those described below only if you understand what you are doing and be prepared for what happens before things go wrong. Save important data to a physical disk that is different from the one on which the files are saved. Also stock up on a Windows update disk or a distribution kit with the OS (you may need to update the device, instructions for which when using a device, especially a GPT disk, refer to these cases, if you are updating a non-system partition).

If everything went well, the correct partition structure will be recorded, and after rebooting the computer, the disk will be accessible as before. However, as you might have guessed, you may need to update the updater; Windows 10 does a good job of automatically updating when you choose to update in the middle.

RAW file system on the Windows system partition

In these situations, if a problem with the file system occurs on a partition with Windows 10, 8 or Windows 7, and a simple chkdsk does not work on the middle version, you can connect this disk to another computer with a working system and fix the problem na nomu, or Use LiveCD methods to update partitions on disks.

A list of LiveCDs that can be used with TestDisk is available here: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Livecd
To update from RAW with the help of DMDE, you can download the program files to a downloaded WinPE-based flash drive and, having loaded it, run the downloaded program file. On the official website of the program there are also instructions for creating valuable DOS storage devices.

There are also third-party LiveCDs, which are specially designed for updating sections. However, in my tests, one hundred percent of RAW partitions showed that the paid Active Partition Recovery Boot Disk does not allow you to update files, or to find those partitions that were deleted (unpartitioned space on the disk), ignoring RAW partitions (this is how the Partition Recovery function works in advanced version of Minitool Partition Wizard).

In this case, an active Partition Recovery disk (if you want to speed it up) can have the following features:

Otherwise, it shows the RAW disk as the primary NTFS, displaying all the files on the new one, and prompting you to renew it (Recover menu item), indicating that the partition is still on the disk.
If what is described in the first paragraph is not required, then after updating to the specified menu item, the disk is displayed as NTFS in Partition Recovery, but is deprived of RAW in Windows.

The main problem is another menu item - Fix Boot Sector, which means that it is not about the system partition (in the next window, after selecting this item, you do not need to select any items). In this case, the file system of the partition begins to be accepted by the OS, otherwise there may be problems due to backup (determined by standard Windows update methods), as well as the system automatically starts checking the disk at the first start.

Well, you’ll find out that it’s been such a long time that we can’t help you with any of the methods, and the suggested options seem scary, and you may be able to simply update the important data from the partitions and RAW disks, here we’ll help you without complete programs for updating the data.

Yak VIDOMO, when the Ruinuvannia of the Structure of the file systems of the Logical disk of the Opezina system, the system of il ibi by the signs, the Zviloks to the Chita string Strike, is difficult to be difficult to vitro with the type of file systems of the Zipsovani Rodliv. In such situations, the “Logical disk power” row has a rich entry: RAW. There are many possible reasons for this: hardware failure, robot program failure, virus invasion.

For these and other reasons, the partition table (for example, MBR) appears to have incorrect values for the logical disk, and ruins occur in the important sector of the system and the MFT area (the head file table in the NTFS system). You can try to correct minor errors in the system data, since the one on the right is completely rotten - you would like to update the required files.

Vipravity pardons? Perhaps!

By nature, RAW is not a preferred file system type. Your disk will no longer be formatted with FAT or NTFS. However, it is no longer possible to use it using the standard scheme - the disk simply cannot be opened due to formatting. And if you intend to steal as much information as possible that is saved on the corrupted disk (well, before you know it anywhere!), it is strictly not recommended to wait with the rest. Turning the “FAT” or “NTFS” record to the disk authorities may not work. It’s easy to get all the information you need from here!

Well, it’s pretty clear that our file system is actually RAW. We check the “power” of the disk through the context menu in the “My Computer” tab. If “local disk” is indicated in the “type” row, and “RAW” is indicated in the “file system” row, you can begin the process of updating the data. Before speaking, for which it is better to choose a verified and effectively running launcher program. If your data is truly dear to you, it is better not to be complacent with dubious propositions accompanied by all sorts of “bonuses”.

Another life system...

RS Partition Recovery is a reliable tool for updating data from inaccessible, formatted, damaged disks. In most cases, the program is designed to restore and separate after severe damage, reconstruct the logical drive, and restore the system literally from scratch!

If you are forced to format a disk with a damaged structure, you can restore your data! The “deep analysis” function, which is used by RS Partition Recovery, will scan and analyze all the pieces of data that are saved on the disk, and based on them, create a partition structure and finally the files in view, according to I will add an additional clause for the further vikoristan.

How can you earn money?

A smart program can bypass the blocking of access to the partition structure, which is enabled after the RAW system is rebuilt. In this case, if you have not formatted the disk, the update will proceed quickly and painlessly. It’s meta - rotate the data after formatting, just stock up on terpenes. The result of the RS Partition Recovery robot is different!

Just install the program (on any disk or other device other than the current one), and start scanning the required disks. In the new program window you will download all the files available for updating. Save them - also on any disk other than the one you have used.

You can easily and manually use the latest information to perform the “Look Ahead” functions and sort files using various parameters. Get started with a competent program - and once again forget about all the unpleasant emotions associated with the word RAW!

Hello friends! The RAW file system, as paradoxical as it sounds, means the existence of any kind of file system. In other words, on drive C: of our reader (which has written the first page), the NTFS file system is severely corrupted (the MFT file table is corrupted, an incorrectly stored sector or incorrect data in the MBR partition table).

This happens for a variety of reasons, problems when working with hard disk partition manager programs (Acronis Disk Director, Paragon Partition Manager), the activity of bad programs or, for example, the computer is not turned on correctly.

How to get out of this life? Quite simply, I will give you a number of options for the most serious problem and describe them in detail, and you will choose the one who controls you.

First method. Remove the hard drive, connect it to another computer and check the file system with the Chkdsk utility, which corrects errors.

Another way. Yakshcho RAW file system appeared on your system drive C:, but on something else, for example drive D:, you just need to log into the operating system in the normal way and run the Chkdsk utility with the /f parameter, so that you open the command line as administrator and enter the command chkdsk D: /f , this command runs a check and further correction of the RAW file system on the D: drive, in most cases it will not fix the problem The RAW file system will be converted to normal NTFS.

How is this practical? Quite recently, people I know had a similar problem; they stopped caring about the operating system, seeing the problem.

I removed the hard drive and transferred it to my computer to others. On the hard drive of my friends, three partitions appeared, the first one was a service partition without letters (100 MB) of Windows 7, the other partition (F:) with an unidentified RAW file system,

It was on this partition that the operating system files were located, and when I tried to open it, I got the message “Can’t access F::\. The file or folder is corrupted. It’s impossible to read.”

With the section (G:) everything was in order.

I open the command row under the name of the administrator and enter the command chkdsk F: /f/

The revision of section F has begun: for file system fixes

And it ended successfully. Windows has improved the file system. No further steps are required.

As a result, the RAW file system was reconstructed into the NTFS file system and the F: drive appeared with the existing files.

Do you want to use the RAW file system, but you don’t have another computer at hand?.

Or you don’t want to remove your hard drive from the system unit, you can do it the other way - download the computer from a Live CD or Windows 7 update disk, or download from the installation disk "SIM cards", go to the update environment and run the the Chkdsk utility from the command line row

On the download page you will see the message “Press any key to boot from CD...”, immediately press any key on the keyboard and download from the disk will appear.

Updating the system.

Command line.

Before work, it is important to correctly erase all disks, the fragments in the middle of the update will be removed.
