I have encountered a strange problem that occured when I attached an IDE 80 usb (from a laptop) disk for recovery. This disk became wouldnt startup anymore in my laptop after some problems to fix it with testdisk it saw a partition but the file system was corrupted. But i could not access the disk anymore so i decided to correct the error with writing a new partion with testdisk found and showed as green , but then still my disc which was split in 2 volumes was not accessible by windows. Now it is still recognized as 2 volumes, but not accessible, the files system is now with 2 partionts in RAW, but not accessible in windows for filesystemcheck or hd tools. I could recover allmost all data correct but i want to know what happened here. How to get the filesystem accesible again by changing the RAW partitions back to NTFS logical and extended? I want to correct the filesystem with chkdsk or so. The size is still split in 2 volumes . What tool is best to correct the partition id >or do this manually wits an editor or so . PLS HELP how to do this

RAW means that Windows is treating the partition as just a bunch of bits. That's because some critical component of the file system has been damaged, possibly due to bad sectors.
