[SOLVED] Is it possible to convert a RAW-filesystem to a usable filesystem?

[Erazor7]

Hello,

I have the problem that the SD card on my camera can no longer be opened. I then noticed that the file system is raw and therefore unusable. Even after researching on the internet I couldn't find a solution. Is there a possible way to change the filesystem back to ntfs or something? i have already recovered the data but its not complete so it would be important for me to access the sd card again.

do you still want to recover the data?

yes, but best as a complete disk, sorry for the unclear wording

Recovery massively depends on where it broke.
if it's just the file system being "disappeared" but the data is untouched you should be able to recover it.

I haven't tried TestDisk on flash storage, but the first step would be to create a copy and work with that to prevent the card itself from any writes.

Obviously it could be something worse. Like the storage itself gone bad.

How can I make a copy of the SD card?

R-Photo is freeware. It can make a clone or image of your card, then work with that image.
