It may be a corruption problem. Try EaseUS Diwk Wizard http://www.easeus.com/resource/repair-raw-disk.htm You might find more help in the TV section.

Re: MY passport turned into RAw SYSTEM

Thanks Joe_s ( is that JOE SATRIANI___ the lord of guitars i always hail) 

 

yeah i did downloaded the same programe before i posted the matter here .. the problem is this programme is also not showing the files .. when i press next  after selecting teh RAW DISK.. its shows nothing but all empty files.. this disk still running fine on TV ... (however i have installed it on a crappy office PC ..... i ll try to install it on my much better up to day home pc where i can see if  it would work ) .. is there any other free software who works same as this one .. i asked WD technicians also about the software you are telling but they said that they havent used and cant say anything .. they have one simple solution that format and give back or give a new one .. both casis they dont care about the valuable data :smileysad: .... THanks again for the reply 

regards

Re: MY passport turned into RAw SYSTEM

I got the full version also but still this program did not helped .. is there anything else which can change the file system without data loss or if there is any other third party program which can read from a RAW drive 

still the Television reading each and every file  and i m watching movies / photos or listning to music from that drive 

only thing is its not accessablevia a PC 

the recovery tool suggested above did not helped so if there is any other tool like that 

thanks alot 

cheeers
