Access denied to hard drive

I recently assembled a new system. Since I do not have Internet access at home, I initially set up the machine at work in order to download Windows updates and other stuff. While doing this, the computer was a member of the work domain. When I took the machine home I changed it from the work domain to my home workgroup. Everything seemed to be fine, with the exception of being able to access my second hard drive. When I click on the drive letter inside of Windows Explorer I am told that access is denied. Properties for the drive list RAW as the file format. The drive shows up is Disk Management and is listed as healthy. All options such as Reactivate are grayed out. The only option that isn't is the Format Drive. I hestiate to do this as I have about 20 GB of data I don't want to lose. Disk Management let me change the drive letter designation but nothing else. I am confused as to why this would happen when I did nothing more than change from a domain to a workgroup. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Hey Van RAW files are relevant to digital photographs. According to this article you can set your digital camera to save your images as "raw" or "jpeg" files. don't know if the article will help, but maybe you should check it out.

 

he's saying the the drive's FS is showing as RAW, not FAT/32 or NTFS..

 

Ah, I see. Thanks Kodo. I googled around for raw filing systems and OSs and found out that it's going to take a much smarter person than me to answer Vanguard's question. Unless he wants to wait for about a week or so until I eddify myself. I'm sure someone will answer it in a much shorter time than that.

 

This is the only thing I found on it.

Unfortunately that Microsoft article doesn't seem to address my issue. My drive is NTFS and never had copies of boot sector files on it.
