i use an ide to usb cable to connect a hdd to my laptop. i was recently using a 20 gb u series 5 seagate hdd (pata) on the ide to usb serial cable and the power went out. when i switched back on, the partition drive from the harddisk which i was using was detected, but its file system is now showing it as raw. i have important data on the partition. is there any way i can recover that data or turn that file system back to raw without formating it?

@ VVV man dnt answer qs if u dnt knw the proper answer. imanaged to get ma drive wrking without ne cost or ne softly software. i used a freely available tool called testdrive to change my file system from raw back to fat32. its working perfectly normal and all the data is the same as before with no deletion or bad sectors.next time u answer some1s qs, y dnt u pls use ur mind (assuming u have got one), @ answer it and actually try to do sum research on the question.people asking questions in here expect proper answers,not sarcasm n ignorance
