How do i convert from a RAW file system back to a ntfs and keep my data, because I was downloading to my external hard drive and vista restarted for updates and when it came bak up it had converted my external hdd to the RAW file system. The guys at pc doctor said they would have to redo the whole file partition table and everything. Is there anyone that can help figure out what to do with this

Testdisk is your best bet. Be sure to read the tutorials thoroughly BEFORE running testdisk. Also, be sure to run it on the correct drive.
