The hard drive in my father's laptop is a 750GB WD and after it failed to boot I investigated and found that it refused to mount and that the format had changed to RAW.
I researched and couldn't find a solution except to run a program such as TestDisk to find the missing partition and hopefully repair the necessary parts to make it mountable again.
Unfortunately after running TestDisk overnight, the progress is 130/344253 and I'm not keen to wait centuries for it to finish.
Any advice would be appreciated. There's quite a few important files that I really need to recover.
