This is my Crystal Disk Info snapshot:
First of all, my machine is Windows 8.1 x64 with Media Center. I noticed that my internal D: drive that was used to record TV recordings failed the other day. I checked the HDD which was NTFS is now recognized as RAW. The HDD is supposed to be 2TB, but CrystalDiskInfo and DiskManagement shows that it is only 1TB. I could not fix with ChkDsk, because it says that it cannot run on RAW.
So, let me limit the questions to:
- How can I recover/ backup my files? I am interested to recover multimedia files, especially .wtv files.
- How should I treat this HDD from now on? (Is this fixable by reformat? Or should I fix with special program? Is this HDD dying, therefore best to abandon?)
- Any other suggestions to fix the issue?
I searched for clues that TestDiskInfo could give me something, but is this the right thing to me?
If this is duplicate, please point me to the answer, and let me know if the answer is still valid.
