If a partition is corrupted in Windows, possible (but not all) symptoms are:

• Invalid media type reading drive
  Abort, Retry, Fail?
• File system is displayed as "RAW".
• Windows may ask if you want to format the drive, such as warning "disk not formatted. do you want to format now?". Such as the follow picture.
• File names contain "weird" characters.
• "Sector not found" messages.

To recover files from RAW Drive, please follow this procedure:

1. Click the Select "Complete Recovery" button on the main window of Data Recovery Wizard.

2. You can see the list of logical volumes found on your computer.

3. Select the "RAW" drive or inaccessible logic drive.

4. Click "Next" to begin Scanning for Files.

5. Select the files or directory that you want to recover and press the "Next" button.

6. Select a directory and press the "Next" button to save the files.

The demo version of Data Recovery Wizard gives you a much fairer idea about chances of data recovery from your hard disk before deciding upon the purchase. You can buy full version to recover data!

Caution: Saving file(s) to the partition or drive from where you are recovering data, for it may result in overwriting of data, and would result in permanent data loss!!
