mikal   10 #1 Posted November 9, 2018 I recently bought a 2tb external hard drive from Ebay. I have been messing with it and it now says it is RAW configured, not NTFS. I've tried various things from the internet to try to change it back into NTF, using DISKPART and CHKDSK, but they didn't work, only having a very limited knowledge as to what I was doing, I fear that I may have done more damage, is there any way that I can get it to work again, There is nothing on the disc, Thanks for any advice that anyone can let me have. Been looking at similar posts, but nothing stands out. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
