Guest nellie2 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I deleted your other topic that you posted in the Security and Privacy forum. You really only need to post once... you can always bump your thread back to the top by posting a reply to it.As for your problem, well I don't know anything about data recovery. But the fact that its format is showing as RAW doesn't sound very promising. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 RAW means no FAT or NTFS, it is waiting to be formatted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 :huh: That means that there is nothing on it then. Is it possible for a drive to go from being in a formatted state of some sort to a raw state???i convert one of my drive to ntfs format and secured it in windows xp professional with my account . but i did a mistake by unsecuring the drive before installing a fresh OSWhat do you mean by secure and unsecure waseem??

monkeyhanger Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I did post on the deleted thread that this may be similar to TBH1 problem he had a few weeks ago. I may be wrong but I think the drive may be re-activated with a tool like partition magic.I think boris provided a complicated solution. Complicated in the sense it was way over my head. :lol: I will look for the thread again.the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
