How do I recover file from Raw Drive?

If partition is corrupted in windows, possible (but not all) symptoms are:

• Invalid media type reading drive
  Abort, Retry, Fail?
• File system is displayed as 'RAW'
• Windows may ask if you want to format the drive, such as warning "disk not formatted. do you want to format now?"
• File names contain 'weird' characters
• 'Sector not found' messages

If you want to recover files due to deletion, format, partition lost or damage, system crash, etc. especially under Windows Vista/2008/Windows 7, our free data recovery software - Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition is recommended. It works well with hardware RAID and hard drives, SD and Memory Cards, etc.
