Recuva gives error message

I have a 1TB external WD hard drive that is partitioned into drive G and drive H.

Drive H is where my data is stored.

Drive H was working fine one day but the next day I went to access it and it tells me that it is not accessable and wants me to format it. I of course said no.

It gives me the error message: DATA ERROR (CYCLIC REDUNDANCY ERROR)

I can still access drive G on this physical piece of hardware so I know it is not the drive itself.

In disk management it says that drive H is now RAW where it used to be NTFS.

Someone suggested I use Recuva.

I tried but Recuva also says DATA ERROR (CYCLIC REDUNDANCY ERROR)

What can I do to get my data off of this partition H?

Thank you in advance to those who try to help.

Maybe a ChkDsk on that drive will fix the error.

Recuva.exe now crahing no errrors just locks up

Recuva Portable 1.41.537

what the crap with anything this people make anymore?????

I suggested RAW mode recovery for this utility sometime a while back.

Seems like a very useful, ahem, item to have.

Especially in a situation like this.

Have had the same thing happen to me a number of times.

I do have a utility that I use that CAN recover from RAW mode drives.

But, I hesitate to name it, for the frowns I would get from others here.

That said, I love Recuva, but as far as I know, they never implemented RAW recovery mode yet.
