How to rescue files from RAW file system external hard disk without losing files?
What you guys often do to resolve external hard disk RAW file system asking to format error? Recently, my Seagate USB hard disk, which holds many of my important dell PC photos, documents, videos and some files, gets RAW file system error. My Windows 7 computer cannot read it and only tells me to format it before any access. But, I am really afraid the formatting will erase everything stored inside. So, in order to take the original data out as soon as possible, I search the related topic and find RAW file system external drive recovery software can help me to recover them back. And many web friends recommend me to try some related data recovery software, like http://www.piriform.com/recuva or http://www.icare-recovery.com/howto/external-hard-drive-raw-format-asking-to-reformat.html
But, I am not sure whether it is proper for me. How do you think about it? Please help me somehow!

First, evaluate what the data is worth to you. The surest recovery path is professional data recovery. These services use software that's many orders of magnitude more sophisticated and reliable than anything out there for end users. The downside is cost - the services are not inexpensive.
Realize that anything you do with the drive now could reduce or eliminate any chance of recovery. If the data isn't worth the several hundred to over a thousand dollars professional recovery will cost, there are data recovery programs such as Recuva (which you mention) and Ontrack's Easy Recovery you can try.
