You shoud only select hard drive recovery software that offers RAW Hard Drive Recovery support. RAW data recovery is used on hard drive file system's logical structure corruption that causes serious issues (even post correction like index correction by chkdsk) or when logical structure gets overwritten. The RAW recovery process is carried out as the critical file system information about each file as name, type, size, number of clusters (for large files), location and more. In case of corrupted directory structures and missing file information, it is impossible to recover the original file and folder names as they are not available. So, the regular tools for data recovery do not work in this situation.

The scan method used by RAW data recovery incorporates sequential reading of all sectors on the drive using file signature search algorithm. Almost all file types have unique file header and at times footer signatures. It provides the great option of extracting the confined data that lies within the file header and footer.
