Can I Convert RAW to NTFS in Windows 10 Without Losing Data
"Can the RAW drive be converted to NTFS without losing data? I have two drives: C drive and E drive on my Dell laptop which run on Windows 10. But E drive can't be opened now. I have checked the disk in Disk Management, it is blank and shows as "RAW" file system. Is it possible to convert RAW to NTFS without losing my data? Please give some suggestion!"
