Recover Data from 2 TB WD External Hard Drive in RAW Format
Recently, my 2 TB WD My Passport external drive stopped working, and I called WD support and explained the case where they told me to access disk management. The hard drive shows a healthy condition but is now in RAW format. Whenever I connect it to my laptop, it shows that I need to format the drive, and the volume is inaccessible. How could I recover my data?
