RAW disk data recovery in Riga by SIA Interfeis — file retrieval from drives with corrupted file system without formatting.

Why does a drive show RAW? RAW does not mean data is permanently lost — it means Windows cannot read the file system (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT). Common causes: improper disconnection, power outage during writing, virus attack, bad sectors damaging file system structures.

Important: never format a RAW drive! Formatting overwrites the file system structure, drastically reducing recovery chances.

Our specialists first create a drive image on a separate carrier, then restore the file system or perform direct file scanning, bypassing the corrupted file system.

Free diagnostics. No result — no charge.
