Hello.
My External HDD become Raw and I can't open it, In Windows OS to show me "Format disk" and I want to know can I fix it without format?
I attached some photos and need your advice.

knowing where "on the space" is located, one would be able to give you
advice on a pro in your area ....

Never the less this can be either a simple issue or something serious.

Even trying to clone that drive could make it worse - a correct diagnose
from a pro is the best solution ....(and no collegue, or friend of a friend
or relative)

Its as simple - if data is valuable for you ... get proper diagnosis,
otherwise you might loose your data.

whoever suggests to go on with your own DIY doesnt care for your data.

Ok, not 100% but from I know about these, they don't have any encryption. Is this correct?

Yes, if photorec isn't at least finding some files in RAW it's likely an encryption issue. Can you provide a picture of the original USB bridge board?

That or this is a simple sector size issue. Are you directly SATA connected, or using some sort of USB adapter? I know that some adapters can't handle 4K sector drives properly.

As I said, It is an External HDD.
