Seagate 500GB - External HDD Raw files chkdsk

[learner]

Hello All,

I have tried some guides provided through Youtube videos but I have not been able to find a solution yet.

My hard drive is not readable. Below is the error message that I receive.






I have tried going through command prompt, doing the chkdsk runs, none of those work. I tried to backup raw data using one online free tool called iBoySoft. But after a 20 min scan it was not able to detect any RAW data on it. Even tried to list disk using cmd prompt and run and convert to ntfs, none of that work. The disk management tool shows this data is in its RAW format.

Please help me and guide me, is there any way in which I can recover my data or is it likely that I have lost it for good..

Thank you for your help and support.

I have tried using other available softwares they dont seem to be detecting anything inside.

For a drive to go to RAW mode, something might be wrong with it. It's advisible to make a clone, using for instance HDDSuperClone or DDrescue.
After that, then you can start to use software to try to recover.
You can try the demo of UFS, Rstudio, DMDE, etc...
