    D drive has unrecognised file sytem.


    I cannot open the D drive at all.It says it needs formatting and has a unrecognised file system.This is strange because ive only created windows images.
    Any ideas what is happening here please.?

    Hi,

    Please post a screen capture image of your Disk Management window.

    3. Click Manage

    In the window that open, click Disk Management. Maximise it and take the screen capture image.

    Hi,

    The RAW format requires that you format the disk, but you should first try to recover data from it, before you do that.

    Please have a look at this thread to help you with that.

    hi,
    No luck with this.windows says it cannot even format the drive.
    Also cannot create recovery disk.

    At this point you have rather well shot yourself in the foot.
    You can order recovery media:

    In the meantime, before I say just format the partition as NtFS, try:

    TestDisk - data,partition, disk recovery software - cgsecurity

    Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

    File recovery - photos,videos,docs - cgsecurity

    Oemailrecovery CD DVD HDDVD Blu-Ray Recovery Free

    following product is excellent and expensive
    GRC Hard drive data recovery software

    following product is excellent and not expensiveActive@ File-recovery

    D drive is not recognised


    hi.
    I dont see how this has happened but it must have been the reinstallation of os.
    Im not going to waste any more time trying to download this and that to cure it.
    Problem is it will not even let me format the drive.
    I have easeus partition manager.can i not just merge them and eliminate this partition altogether?
