Have to add few lines,
1- After changing my internal SSD drive's signature from Raw - ntfs, still had some issue
to boot to OS
2- Removed the SSD and connected (inserted in external usb case) to anther computer
and ran chkdsk /F /R, took me few hours to wait until the chkdsk finish the work
3- Install the disk on my laptop, was able to boot to OS with no issue. Thanks again for
video and effort.

I'd recommened to use Testdisk first (which is a Freeware.. Then do a 'Quick Search', followed by
a 'Deep Search' .. Keep chkdsk as the last option because you'd want to check the boot sectors
and the rest first... Thank You for the video :)

This worked for me. I used disk management (Right click my computer -> manage) to get the
drive letter of my broken partition (it was G:). Then opened an elevated command prompt (Start
-> cmd -> Right click -> Run as administrator) and entered your command (chkdsk /f G:).
20 seconds later my SSD partition was readable again :)

there was a folder containing around 250gb of data which is not in the drive. but the drive is
taking space same as before. a new hidden folder named "found.000" appears. but when i try to
open that it says "found.000 is not accessible, access is denied". i tried changing permission
through security tab to all allowed and guess what!! it worked! :) i found that lost folder's
content in that "found.000". thanks again

Hi everybody.
I would appreciate anybodys help please.
My 4TB external harddrive was working normally until the usb part broke off where the usb
cable connects to the enclosure and I had to replace the enclosure.
Since replacing the enclosure the harddrive cannot be accessed and says it needs to be
formatted and its RAW.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? Windows Disk Management says there is 493GB healthy
partition and 1.7TB unallocated and 1.6TB unallocated space but I never partitioned it before?
Please help? I would appreciate it.

It could be an alternative way to restore old file extension CHK file. if you had a problem with the
file chk, this site could be an alternative solution http://cheatdroidpro.com/blog/how-to-chk-file-
recovery-folder-found000.html" (CHK FILE RECOVERY). I have tried and the results are quite
satisfactory.

it's chkdsk not chkdisk & there is no ':' after 'f' !!.
here is the right command
chkdsk /f /X:
where X is the later of the Partition your need to apply this command to.

you have to use Linux os to execute this command on your disk
[ sudo ntfs fix <DriveLetter> ]
then go back to windows & again execute this command which is supposed to work now

i tried 2nd way with my ubuntu - it did not help (said it was damaged beyond repair or
something "inrecoverable error"). I needed to use commercial tool NTFS RECOVERY TOOLKIT.
MBR was damaged (i needed to fix it) and then i restored the parition.

:'( ... i don't know may be your case is not mine ,,, anyway it helped some people,
may your problem get solved :)
good luck
I apologize for the delay in response, due to the inhumane war in which we live in the Gaza Strip

no-one wins in any wars, but the politicians and busines linked to them. For common people of
both sides it is just endless suffering. F*ck the war, f*ck the governments and all their puppets.

yeah, you are so right :( it is just a war on the Civilians people , it is ... :'(

hey bro i have problem with my external hard drive.... I tried formatting it to NTFS (Default) and
it tells me that the format was unsuccessful. THEN it tells me that I have to format the hard drive
to be able to use it. Confused, I tried formatting it again and it says it was unable to format the
disk drive. Now I can't access it at all and it won't format.

download this program "get data back"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6UEx-n2JnSJUXpOSVUyb1ZvX0U/edit?usp=sharing
open it ,choose "loss suddenly" & continue... tell me if you can now access your data on that
external hdd
also download this "Partition Table Editor",select your exteral hdd,give me a screen shot

hey bro. thanks for your help!!....i finally get it to format to ntfs... i used a software called
"Western Digital data lifeguard diagnostic" to repair it, but unfortunately it didn't turned out to
be completely fixed ... because i placed my hard-drive back into my computer to install win7 on
it, and it's coming with this error message code... which seems as if the harddrive has been badly
damage, its not allowing me to install win7.. (don't know why) it can only store things on it when
plug on to a external drive.. plz help!
