Hi guys,
my problem is that i can get in to my system and i think its because i have the "RAW" format on the partitions and when i try to boot from DVD to just format it to NTFS and intsall windows it doesnt even boot to the DVD it takes ages and nothing happens.
I tried to boot from a Linux DVD but all i get it error on the sda partition, i try to boot from a windows 8 repair tool (its burned on a CD which helped me before) and even that doesn't help.
I plugged it to my other PC and the same thing happens, i booted to windows from my other PC and when to the disc manager and then saw that i have RAW paritions and i cant even format it from there. I waited for it to do something but like all the things i tried, no luck.
I just want to know if i can save my data or not and how i can format it.

I hope you can help me guys.
 
Solution
Try to use the drive in a working system as an external drive. You will need a SATA to USB adapter with the power kit. If the drive does not work that way, it is dead.
