Hard Drive Data Recovery: Recover from HDD Missing Its Name

I've been having problems with my personal hard drive, which contains the last 15 years of my data. After booting into Windows, the old HD is missing its name and requests to be formatted when attempting to access it. Naturally, I did not format it. When I open disk management, I see it is in RAW format. Has anyone had a similar solution? I believe there is a partition problem, and the data will still be present because nothing has been written to the disc.

If you have an inaccessible internal or external hard drive and losing vital data, don't worry. This is a rather typical hard disk problem with Windows 11/10/8/7. Do not be alarmed if you cannot open a local drive or a detachable disk, such as a USB flash drive or SD card, in this manner. It is mainly due to the hard drive file system being RAW.

Your hard drive is RAW because your PC might overheat if you conduct too many tasks at once, use heavy software or applications, or use them excessively. If you find yourself in this circumstance, stop using the device immediately. Another typical mistake most people do is clearing or emptying the recycle bin. Instead, begin to recover RAW drive as soon as feasible.

Even if you don't have a backup, the recovery software can enable you to recover deleted files from the hard disk. Data loss is a frustrating event typical when you mistakenly delete and format your hard drive or your PC experiences a system crash.

So you may unintentionally format your drive and discover that you have deleted vital files and documents. This can occur when a disk or drive fails, and your computer requests that you format the drive, only to discover that all files have been lost.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is a data recovery application we recommend that allows you to easily recover your sole copies of essential documents, assignment files, treasured photos, movies, and other related materials that have been lost from a variety of storage devices. It is an excellent and economical solution with a basic interface for beginners. 

So, It's sad to see a RAW disk, and you have to format it to make it usable again. Formatting a hard disk allows it to be assigned a recognizable file system such as NTFS, FAT, or FAT32. Still, it entirely removes data, making it difficult to recover lost data through the Recycle Bin. As a result, we strongly advise you to recover RAW data and export data from the raw drive before formatting it.

Use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover deleted or lost files easily and quickly.
