My WD 80GB HDD also crashed last week. My windows XP didn't detect the hdd & turned it into RAW File System. The bad thing is, I've ran chkdisk and it has created some new folders in the hdd which contains .chk or .001 files.

I've tried to recover the hdd by using Stellar Phoenix FAT & NTFS & Active @ Undelete but failed.

The software that can recover my hdd are Stellar Phoenix RAW File Recovery & Ontrack RAW Recovery. But Ontrack RAW Recovery has resized my >5MB recovered pictures to 160 x 120. Stellar Phoenix needs an activation code in order for it to start recovering my hdd. (I have the demo version, which only allows me to search the hdd but not recover).

So anyone out there know any good RAW File Recovery softwares that I could use? Which of course, have available cracks. I know there's EASEUS DataRecovery, but there's no available cracks for in online.

Cheenjeat008, do you have the crack for Stellar Phoenix RAW File Recovery. I need it desperately.

yup... i've tried to recover my files using Stellar Phoenix FAT & NTFS but the files aren't there.. but when i use Stellar Phoenix RAW File Recovery.. i've found all my lost files.

I think its b'coz Stellar Phoenix FAT & NTFS & Actine doesn't support RAW file system.

try OnTrack Easy Recovery
