Check for hidden John Cena's......you often can't see him.

 

Seriously though, can you yank it and try hooking it up thru usb? I had a drive showing different things when plugged in vs usb on different computers... had something to do with weird partions that were on it out of the box.

 

Note: My problem was with a blank drive, so it was showing different sizes...like 1tb vs 4tbs....

I don't have much faith that your data is safe

If you can back up the drive first to prevent any potential for further lose.

 

Step 1: Go to the start menu, type in "cmd" in a search bar.

Step 2: Right click cmd.exe and choose "Run as Administrator".

Step 3: Type "chkdsk /X /f the drive letter:" or "chkdsk the drive letter: /f " in the command window to repair RAW drive.

i google a bit and found that you can't change from RAW to NTFS without losing data, means i need to backup my whole drive first then change to NTFS and put my data back in?
this windows update really BS

Do you have another computer you could use to read the drive? If so, does the other computer identify the partition as RAW?

Depends on what happened to it. If just the partition-table entry got corrupted, it'd be really easy to change it back to NTFS under Linux and wouldn't require formatting anything. Alas, I assume you ain't got any idea how to use Linux, do you?

Sometimes better tools that built in are required.
