I connected the drive to other Windows and Linux computers. I even took the disc out of its packaging and connected it directly via the SATA interface, but it didn't help. CHKDSK does not work on a raw disc.
I managed to find a solution on the Internet.
I found this article and followed it step by step.
Data Recovery Software For RAW File System
It cost me $97.95, but that's nothing compared to sending the disc to a specialist. I risked losing my files forever. But I can't afford to pay a lot of money.
Now I'd like to tell you how I proceeded.
First of all, I managed to create a copy of the damaged disc using the "HDD Raw Copy Tool".
I downloaded "Hetman Partition Recovery", the program found my RAW drive and started a full scan. It found most of my files and successfully recovered them. Of course, not all files could be recovered, but I was lucky: it managed to recover the most important ones.
And yes, make copies of important files (discs) for the future.
