Hi,

When i was rebooting and tryed to start a program from my extern HD (western digital) he said that the path was incorrect. So i checkt the path and when i clicked on my HD he said "HD is not formatted do you want to formatte it now?) when i already had several value data on it.
i went to systemcontrol (where you can see all your drives)and their seems to be my station e: is a RAW station( if i would know how to paste a print screen i would) can someone help me i didnt had back ups and need those data

Try GetDataBack from this website
http://www.runtime.org/downloads.htm
However, the drive is definitely faulty, so you won't be able to store it's data on that drive. You may have to stomach losing your data if you don't have anywhere to put it.
Solution: Back it up!

Actually I think you'll find it can. I've had far more drives fail in under 6 months than fail after longer than that.
