Greetings everyone,
A friend of mine, gave me his HDD because he broke his laptop and extracted it, the problem I am facing is :
The HDD has 3 partitions:
1. System Reserved Partition ( G: )
2. Partition were windows is located ( I: )
3. Partition with data ( K: )
I can access the data on on first 2 partitions, but the 3`rd one is in RAW state, the windows asks me to format it...
I tried using testdisk but didn`t succeed, maybe I was doing something wrong...
What can I do to restore the data?

Check SMART values. Have to identify whether the drive has a hardware problem, bad sectors, etc.

+1

try to clone the disk to another disk and than run data recovery software e.g DMDE or R-studio on the clone drive.

Drive has bad sectors. Now we need to know whether read-write mechanism is good.
Not easy to test without pro tools. With a little bit of knowledge we can get some idea.
Suggest testing drive with MHDD by running short partial scan tests. Or buy pro tools.

...or clone the drive using ddrescue and do a raw scan on the data partition of the clone with GetDataBack or similar.
