Change RAW partition to NTFS or recover files from RAW

by

I’ve resized my C:\ partition but now I can’t boot anymore. I tried to use CHKDSK to analyse the disk but keep getting this error:

CHKDSK does not support RAW disk.

I suppose the partition is damaged or changed to RAW format. So, how can I restore it to NTFS or at least recover my data?

Answer

Didn’t need to recover my data and reinstall Windows. I’ve repaired the damaged partition unsing a recovery tool TestDisk.

  1. Analyse hard disk and find the damaged partition;
  2. Change it to primary partition;
  3. Rewrite the partition table to register it again;
  4. Reboot, Windows starts normally.
