I know that I cannot extract HDD (I mean it has integrated adapter)…so not sure what Can I try to recover my Data

Pls seeking your help

Hi,

You could refer to the following link: Third Party Data Recovery Software Options for Windows and macOS

There are chances that your drive may turn as RAW. Due to file system corruption, virus/ Trojan attack, registry damages, primary hard drive partitions may become RAW. Once the drive turns RAW, you’ll not be able to access RAW partition or drives. Common fixes include formatting RAW hard drives but it involves risk of permanently erasing your data.

Here, I suggest you to check out the below article for better understanding of the issue: How to Recover Data from Raw Drive? | Knowledge Base Articles & Resources

Hope it will help.
