“While installing few drivers in my XP system, it showed out of space. So, I had to make some space on my hard drive by deleting unimportant data; so I randomly selected some folders and hit on best known delete option i.e. using Shift - delete keys. This was enough; all selected data got cleared out within minutes. After installation of drivers, when I checked out my C drive, I was shocked to see that I had accidentally deleted set of folders that contained RAW videos. I am totally upset and I don’t know what to do. I need those videos back guys please can anyone help me out! Thanks”.
While trying to access RAW videos from your hard drive, you may encounter some error messages stating that data inaccessible. This may be due to logical faults or presence of bad sectors on hard drive. Apart from bad sectors, there are other reasons that make it difficult for you to access RAW video files from hard drive or other storage media as listed below:
- File system corruption on storage drive where RAW videos are saved
- Corruption of storage drive due to virus or malware infection makes it inaccessible and users cannot access RAW videos present in it
- Sudden loss of power when RAW videos are transferred from system to external storage drive
- Deletion or formatting of partition containing important RAW videos during re-partitioning hard drive
Don’t panic after losing RAW video files from any storage media due to above mentioned causes. They will be present in same memory location until new file content takes up its space.
