it says CHKDSK is not available for rAW drives. can't continue....

Jochen Van Aelten 1 month ago

Just boot in safe mode and use chkdsk e: /f

Lodewyk Cloete 1 month ago

Did the safe mode work ?

Jochen Van Aelten 1 month ago

yes it did work for me ! CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives, only showed up for me in normal
mode. Just use safe mode and use /f for fix at the end. You should be good to go after that. Good
luck!

Lodewyk Cloete 1 month ago

Okey cool im on it now, thanks buddy

thisis nothana 3 weeks ago

what is safe mood

Lodewyk Cloete 3 weeks ago

hanaa drew boot into safe mode, if u in windows go start and type msconfig and then select
boot safe mode,

Jochen Van Aelten 3 weeks ago

no no .. Reboot your PC, then hit F8, then you can choose safe mode

Lodewyk Cloete 3 weeks ago

Jochen Van Aelten
F8 doesnt work on all the laptopts and pcs, thats why I said boot into windows go start
"msconfig" and then select boot then safe mode, or if u have windows 8 or 8.1 hold shild in and
restart from the windows then go troubleshould then follow instructions

Jochen Van Aelten 3 weeks ago

ha oké :) I never did it that way or knew about that, so your probably right! Anyway i hope the
recover worked for you as it did for me in safe mode.

Lodewyk Cloete 3 weeks ago

Jochen Van Aelten
haha no problem friend, but unfortunately it didnt, so its booked in at a data recovry centre

this was not RAW....chkdsk is not available for RAW drives. What now?

Takis PuyerBray 5 months ago

what the format your HDD before?

WhiteDraqon 5 months ago

NTFS, but now it's RAW and chkdsk does not work on RAW disks, as we know...

Takis PuyerBray 5 months ago

not all the conditions HDD can be succeed converted in this way, if you've been following it step
by step and still not succeeded, I apologize if it can't help you, maybe your HDD is different
hardware conditions.

WhiteDraqon 5 months ago

No, it is normal problem with RAW disks...look at comments, I am not the only one. You just, or
windows actually, cannot use chkdsk with RAW HDD's, that is it.

Ertan Çetinkaya 5 months ago

yes, this is fake. when he write chkdsk at 1:10, it writes file system is NTFS not RAW.
when i try it writes "CHKDSK is not avalaible for RAW drives"

Takis PuyerBray 4 months ago

Bro @Ertan Cetinkaya,
please try playing the video again, look at the video carefully.

Ertan Çetinkaya 4 months ago

I certainly played it from the beginning. There is a confusion between the title and the content. I
guess your hard-disk is not all raw. there are some partitons in your hard-drive and you can
easily solved your problem. Anyway, I solved it by finding another method.

Takis PuyerBray 4 months ago

OK friends, if your problem is already finished, although with different methods, I already
explained that not all conditions of the HDD can be solved by the method of this video, so
congratulations my friend.

Ertan Çetinkaya 4 months ago

yeah. I would recommend to read the following Turkish comments.The vast majority of people
agree with me.

Takis PuyerBray 4 months ago

yes, my Friends please, helping each other and I'm glad to hear it.
Thanks.

Win 10 ? Right-click drive --> properties --> Security --> Advanced. Under the permissions tab,
there will be System and Administratorer. Now Press Add button and where it says Principal :
Select a principal you add the username of the system. There will be no suggestions so find your
username (by looking a the users folder C:\Users there will be a folder with your username on it.
Type this name into the textbox which you see when you open "select a principal". Click the
Check Names button to confirm that the user name is correct. Now you will choose permissions
via check boxes and press ok! After this you will have access to the drive (worked for me).

Thanks, your advice worked

Jochen Van Aelten 1 month ago

It works in safe mode for me. I had the same problem with my E: drive.
I booted in safe mode and did chkdsk E: /f that fixed the problem for me. After booting into
normal mode again everything worked as it should.

trellos 7 months ago

what about if whole hdd its raw?because in this case,chksdk not working

Takis PuyerBray 7 months ago

in this video, my HDD cases, RAW partition successfully converted Being NTFS format into Drive
"F:" with CHKDSK, but you must add access "Authenticated Users" It's two steps that you must
do.
if the whole your HDD is RAW Drive C: and D: move your HDD and operate on another computer.
Sorry for my late response.

tfkoincognito 5 months ago (edited)

trellos you may also try to resize the raw partition format the remainder and try it then delete
the dummy partition and resize it to your liking.

G SAHOTA 6 months ago

When I chkdsk it says it can't because the drive is raw? Any advice thank you

Takis PuyerBray 6 months ago

maybe your previous HDD not format NTFS ?.
but in this case my other partition is HFS format and i can used command chkdsk and it's work
succesfully convert to NTFS.

G SAHOTA 6 months ago

i got what I could from using a recover software forgot the name, the only partitions I had was
HFS and NTFS, im guessing the problem happend from not ejecting and using it in and out of a
PC and Mac, I didnt get a lot of it back probably lost 500gb, from 2tb worth of stuff

Takis PuyerBray 6 months ago

Sorry G Sahota,
if this video can't help you.
yes, I often do like it, not ejecting HDD. :)
yes used (safely Remove Hardware) Or ejecting HDD is important.

Because if we pull, HDD sudden loss of power when rotating and cause abrasion to Disc.
Other causes of the shock on the HDD (such as accidentally falling HDD).

Dhe Info 2 months ago (edited)
when I found the key "Without Software and no loss Data" I very exited, because I do not have to
backup data, software I tried can not backup a lot of data for external, so need to pay; the
software only detect there are all my files inside of it, but can not read.....
but when I tried your instructions, I found problems. 1. when I tried chckdsk (both in cmd
user and as admin user) it says "The type of the file system is NTFS.
Unable to determine volume version and state. CHKDSK aborted". 2. when
I tried look at properties at external harddisk (both from win explorer and
computer management), there is no securities section (I use windows 10)
only general, tools, hardware, sharing, previous version and customize.
even di cmd says file system is NTFS but when look at win explorer there
only blank and at computer management says RAW. So I cannot continue,
please help. thanks in advance
