I just restored my system to an image I created on Monday. The system image I created was for all disk drives on my system. After the system image I can no longer access anything on my hard drive. All my files are on my hard drive, while my OS is on my SSD. I can still access the backup partitions on my hard drive, but not the main partition. When I try to access the drive I get an error message:

You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it.
Do you want to format it?


Then if I click cancel:

E:\ is not accessible.
The volume does not contain a recognized file system.
Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.

Is there anyway to save/access my file with formatting it and losing everything?

Edit: This is an internal harddrive. Also the File system is labeled as RAW for the partition while all the other partitions and drives are labeled as NTFS.
 
Solution
I fixed it! I tried a bunch of different file recovery programs, such as Testdisk, Recuva, RecoveryPro and none of them worked. Then I opened up cmd and ran:
chkdsk :E/ on the broken HDD, and it completely fixed it. I now have all my files back, and everything works fine!!
