Toshiba SSD drive is reported as RAW
Have you ever met raw problem when need to access files which saved on the Toshiba SSD drive? We would get that there is no way for us to open the drive to view its original information if it is raw file system as long as we have encounter such problem once. What's more, we can not open the SSD drive even though we can open it after formatting it, because there is nothing on the drive after the format. Fortunately, we may be able to view those previous files after the files recovery.
Case of Toshiba SSD drive being reported as raw
My Toshiba SSD drive was reported as raw one day ago and I could not open it to access its files like I used to. I asked my friends what was the trouble, and they told me that it is a system error and I need to format it and convert it to normal file system, such as ntfs, and others. Unfortunately, both they and I did not know how to view information saved on the raw SSD drive at the previous time. But those original contents are useful for me. Can you kindly tell me the way to access them again? -Teri from LA
