re: XP won't recognize Old XP Drive on same computer Friday, November 20, 2009 at 4:39 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sgt (1525 messages posted) I am not 100% sure the drive is damaged or dying. For whatever reason (probably happened during format somehow) windows now thinks the drive is RAW.. it can't find a file system. The data is probably recoverable though to some degree. After you get the data you could format the drive and it will probably work just fine. http://www.diskgetor.com/recover-raw-partition.htm I don't necessarily recommend this program but it explains what the problem is a little better.
