Repairing partition

    Hey,
    So I loaded up Partition Magic 8 there, and got told there was compatibility issues with Windows 7. It also threw up some messages saying it detected errors with my hard drives and to click here to fix, which I did.
    (I've 1 60GB main HDD(IDE), 300GB storage(SATA), and 1TB(USB))

    I then went on anyway and performed some tasks on my external USB hdd.

    When it was done, I went back into My Computer and was told that I couldnt access my SATA drive. In Computer Management it tells me that the filesystem is RAW, as opposed to FAT32 or NTFS, one of which it should be since I was using it only 20 minutes ago!

    Since Partition Magic is on my blacklist from this day forth, can anyone recommed another partitioning/recovery tool that can detect and repair corrupted partition tables?

    Cheers

    if its showing RAW, there is a possibility your data might be gone. can't recommend any software to repair it, but if not delete partition and format the drive, it should come back healthy
