It's been a while but I've got some sad news. I can't quick format the drive.

I don't really see how a quick format gels with saving my files, though.

Pistle, when I try that it says the following:

Hey Nukecad, I just ran Minitool Partition Wizard's Data Recovery program and it came back with this: I think it might be time to just format the drive to a workable format. That won't erase the files on it, will it?

Bumping this in the hopes of attracting some attention. I'd really like these files back.

Hello everyone, last week my Seagate Desktop External Drive suffered a fatal error in a power outage. I've tried a few things already: Using CHKDSK in CMD won't work because the format is RAW, not NTSF or FAT. Opening the drive in any file explorer results in "Location is not accessible. J:/ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect." Using Recuva results in the error below. Does anybody have any idea what I can try next? I've pretty much resigned myself to the loss of the drive and all files in it, but as Recuva came recommended by a friend I figured I'd slap this post on here. Thanks in advance.
