Recently my hard disk filesystem got changed from NTFS to RAW and I wanted to know if recuva works on RAW filesystem???
You could give it a try however I suspect it will not.

It doesn't.
I was working on a customers computer that was in RAW and had no available MFT due to some sort of corruption. Recuva would continually hang in deep scan mode, and upon stopping the scan, some files would be visible, but were completely inaccessible / recoverable.
Unfortunately they are not many tools that can recover from drives with damaged partition data I had similar problem with my flash drive got corrupted by a dodgy card reader.
The only tool I've had success with is DiskInternals Partition Recovery but at $140 for personal license it's not exactly what I would call cheap but their demo will let you preview files without coping anyway.

I used Active File Recovery to retrieve the data, and it did an excellent job.
