I left my PC on when I went to sleep. It started storming pretty bad when I was asleep and lightning struck next to my house. My power went out and it messed up my gaming HDD. When I try to go to my drive, it says I need to format it to use it. I haven't formatted it yet because I heard it could be restored if it was in RAW mode if something like that happened. Windows says the drive is healthy, and I used another program (don't remember the name) to see if there was any physical damage to the drive. It all checked out and the drive seems fine. I tried using chkdsk, and this is what I get:
"The type of the file system is NTFS.
The first NTFS boot sector is unreadable or corrupt.
Reading second NTFS boots sector instead.
Unable to determine volume version and state."
After that I tried using Testdisk. I did a quick search without any luck, then a deeper search. It wouldn't let me view any files because it said something along the lines of having a corrupt file system. Is there any way I can fix this? I could just format it and move on, but there are some files I'd really like to get back.
