Symptoms

When you attempt to run chkdsk, you receive the error message "This type of file system is RAW. Chkdsk is not available for RAW drives." Anyway, what is wrong with the drive? Supposed the drive has so many important files stored on it, and a chkdsk tool will complain that it is unable to perform a raw file system recovery; how can you recover and rescue files from the raw file system when chkdsk reports raw? Data recovery software, like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, deals with such raw recovery situation pretty well in most cases.

Chkdsk reports raw

CHKDSK (short for Checkdisk) is a command on computers running DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows operating systems that displays the file system integrity status of hard disks and floppy disk and can fix logical file system errors. It is similar to the fsck command in Unix.

Chkdsk.exe is the command-line interface for the CHKDSK program, which verifies the logical integrity of a file system. If CHKDSK encounters logical inconsistencies in file system data, CHKDSK performs actions that repair the file system data (assuming that the data is not in read-only mode).

While if the volume system type information is unavailable, attempting chkdsk against the volume will result in the following message:
The type of the filesystem is RAW.
Chkdsk is not available for RAW drives.
Sometimes, the drive fails in such a way that it becomes RAW, which usually caused by a sudden power failure, stop error or virus attack.
