I am running Win 7 RC. I have non system/boot disk formatted as NTFS that is always CHKDSKed at boot and completes with no errors (and is reported to be NTFS). If I boot into XP or Ubuntu the drive works fine. Disk Management in Win 7 always reports the drive as being RAW. Any idea on how to get Win 7 to recognize the drive as NTFS short of re-formatting? Thanks.

Hi, It seems a disk/data recovery related issue. Generally, due to the complexity of this kind of issues and to avoid possible data losing risk, it is highly recommended that you contact some professional data recovery companies or your hard disk manufacturer for further recovery.

I solve that convert raw to ntfs by these steps 1. Connect the hard disk slave and use a tool on other pc called hard disk regenerator 2.it fixed bad sectors on my hard disk 3. I put back hard disk in the laptop the defect one and use hiren boot cd 13.1 4. i boot using miniwindows xp and wait till menu show up and the hiren menu appeared 5.under hiren menu there is partition/boot/mbr follow the program called "partition wizard home edition" 6.when it will open it will show me that raw partition is ntfs so I choose the partition 7. Under partition option there is an option "check file system" and I choose it 8. it take couple time around 3/4 of hour and check three stages files,index,security and most important is "Usn journal" show me correct bitmap and that what make harddisk get that become "raw" 9. After that I reboot laptop and windows open so I tried to let windows make "check disk" and till now it works fine and fix the errors. 10 the 2 programs I used is hard disk regenerator and second is "minitool partition wizard home edition" wish that helpful for u all and wish can fix raw partition
