    I just recently reformatted my system due to hard drive corruption and I believe that the system saved my old data to a Logical RAW drive. Under disk management this RAW drive partition is 99 GB. I can 't open/ explore it and I am told that I must reformat it to use the space. SO my question is:
    If my old data was saved in this RAW partition is there a way to recover it without paying for an expensive recovery program?
