FonePaw Data Recovery Update: Better Support for RAW Drive & exFAT

When trying to open a flash drive or memory card on a Windows computer, you may sometimes get an error that says "you need to format the disk before you can use it", which stops you from opening the drive and accessing your files. This indicates the flash drive or hard drive has become raw. And how to recover files from a RAW hard drive or flash drive before formatting is a dilemma that many users are facing.

FonePaw Data Recovery's new update, the 1.7.0 version, can get you out of the dilemma. The 1.7.0 version of FonePaw Data Recovery (Windows) can safely extract all data from a raw hard drive, memory card, flash drive or a raw partition.
