External HDD suddenly requires formatting, read as RAW instead of ntfs
Hey guys,
I use an external HDD (4TB Seagate) connected with a USB docking station to my laptop. In there are all my back ups, movies and everything ....
It used to be a mess so I take some time to tidy up (simply moving files and renaming them). Next thing I know when I try to access the drive, Windows asks that I format the drive. Disk manager shows the drive as a healthy partition but the format has changed from NTFS to RAW.
I tried to use Seagate software to fix my problem, to no avail.
I obviously made a mistake, please tell me I do not have to format and loose all my data ...
Thanks for your help,
