Hard Disk Recovery

I have a Seagate 3 TB external hard drive, and there are a tremendously large number of important files in it. But, I always get the warning information “The disk in drive G is not formatted. Do you want to format it?” and the disk drive became RAW. All I did prior to this happening is restarting my computer, but it still happens. I’ve tried some pieces of data recovery software to fix hard disk formatting on Windows, but they failed. Therefore, I wonder an exceeding powerful tool which can recover RAW external disk drive on Windows for me.
 

Situations Where External Hard Disk is Inaccessible

1. The error message “The disk in drive X(X represents the disk where the external disk locates in) is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?” appears when users attempt to access certain external hard disk.
2. Another error that users may see when trying to access the drive in Windows from a program or the command line is…
“This volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.”
 

Possible Reasons Making Drive Become RAW

Once the records determining the file system type or location on the disk (usually the partition table and the boot sector) are damaged or corrupted, Windows will fail to recognize the file system of certain drive. At this time, it will prompt users to format the drive to create a file system on it. In daily computer use, users who disconnect external hard drives from computer without using the “Safely Remove Hardware” mode may suffer from the issue. And power failure, unplugging the drive from the USB port or from its AC adapter, a problem with the computer that causes it to temporarily disconnect the USB hubs and many more circumstances can lead to unsafe disconnection of drive. Therefore, users are always supposed to disconnect drive in safe way to avoid suffering the disturbing issue.
