Hi yesterday my computer started very slowly and the primary partition was not working thankfully my running system was on the secondary partition but it changed the primary partition to raw format not ntfs as it is meant to be. so how do I recover the data?

I am working on my parents computer and it does not have backups enabled so I need some sort of data recovery software.

Hey dan theman,

Could you post a screenshot of the way the drive is viewed in Disk Management? 
Have in mind that if the drive has a physical problem any attempt to test it or get the data off of the drive might further damage it and further decrease the chances of retrieving your files. 
If the drive or part of it is in a RAW state your best chance is a data recovery company. Their services can be quite costly, though. 
There are other third-party methods, but I can't really recommend them and you have to work with them at your own risk.

Hey, I'm happy to hear you got it resolved! I'd strongly recommend to consider having backups of your data on multiple drives that are not connected to the same system in order to avoid such situations in the future. :)
