My 1TB external hard disk is going undetected in my computer and it doesn't show up in Disk Management. I get the option for safely remove. I think it has turned from NTFS to RAW because in properties it shows used space full and free space empty at the same time.

Please help and guide me to recover my data which is about 400GB!
