When I start it up it asks me to format, and I do not want to lose the data on it, and managing disks have so shown: 

Healthy (Primary Partition)

I tried chkdsk but at some point standing and do not want to go on

Well for one thing the drive is corrupt. You might try some data recovery software first Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva is free. Something like Testdisk  http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk might fix it.  As a last resort some times running the command prompt to convert a drive from FAT32 to NTFS works. This explains what to do  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214579

I do not want to lose my data, files. What I am doing?

If I use Testdisk or Convert.exe this will I lose my files?

I would like too see my files in disk :wink:

These are simply 2 solutions that have worked for other people with raw drives. The safest thing is to have professional data recovery but that is expensive. Recuva is a free data recovery software  http://www.piriform.com/recuva EaseUS also has free recovery software  http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/recover-raw-drive.htm . I have used Recuva with some sucess the others are just programs I have heard good things about.
