    The D partition has become a RAW system, so I can't open it because a message pops up to format it. I have a lot of data on it.
    How to restore NTFS without losing data on partition D? I don't remember exactly how it happened, I know that I wanted to check something in the partition copy program and I pointed this partition D and since then it has changed to RAW and I can't open it. I know that you can recover data from it and then format it, copy the data again but it requires space and a lot of time.

    Show the partition layout from DMDE.
    Show SMART disk.

    As you can see the disk is falling apart (05, 196, 197)
    217 unacceptable blows during work could have contributed to this (191) .
    First of all, a post-sector copy and recovery of files from the copy:

    To be honest, the disk is damaged and it's better not to do anything with it at the moment.
    If you need this data, first get a working, no smaller disk and make a post-sectoral copy.

    Partition checking is the worst thing you can do in this situation. No boot sector and therefore RAW. In DMDE, after clicking on the DATA partition from the menu select -> Restoring the boot sector from the boot copy and confirm. Then, if necessary, apply, save the rollback file and restart.
    ATTENTION This operation should be performed on a copy of the original only after purchasing a new disk and making a post-sectoral copy directly on it. The original disk is damaged and is not suitable for system or important data. Buying a new disk will unfortunately not miss you. By performing these operations on this disk and using it further you expose yourself to data loss. Furthermore, it is better not to use this computer until the disk has been replaced and the data has been secured.
    PS You have 42.5GB unused on the disk. Did you plan it that way? This is a space worth developing.

    I am making a copy of the "DATA" partition itself, because I only have 315GB of free space on the second disk.
    ps These 42GB of free is just noticed how it broke, and it could be useful to expand .. Can you extend the DATA partitions in DMDE?

    It can't, because they are in the area separated by the system partition. You can create a maximum of 4 partitions, just moving the C, D partitions and joining D will be time consuming. Also, note that you have little free space on your system.
    Make a copy, only that if you only do the DATA partition, you lose everything from C in the event of a disk failure (i.e. documents, music and desktop images). Remember that the copy should be a copy to the file because you will lose the data on your second disk at your own request!

    It went without a problem. Thanks a lot.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user whose D partition has become RAW, preventing access to data and prompting a format message. The user seeks methods to restore the NTFS file system without data loss. Responses suggest using DMDE for partition layout and SMART disk analysis, with warnings about the disk's potential damage. Recommendations include creating a post-sector copy of the disk before attempting recovery operations to avoid further data loss. The user is advised against checking the file system directly due to the risk of exacerbating the issue. Follow-up messages indicate the user successfully made a copy of the DATA partition.
