Maybe this is the actual use for this program, but I copied data from a RAW drive and the target is now RAW and unaccessible. Is this what is suppose to happen or is there another step I need to take?

The Background is basically my drive was starting to fail so I got a new ssd to boot and a new 1tb drive to backup the data on my failing boot drive. I used rawcopy on the old boot drive which for some reason became raw when I booted from the new ssd and targeted the 1tb drive. Like I said now the 1tb is raw what do I do?

Ahh Ok, basically it will make the source and target drives exact matches to each other - so if the source drive was corrupted and in a raw format, the target will be the same. However, now that you have your data on a working drive you might be able to use something like the fixboot command on the windows XP CD or a data recovery app like DriveRestore from PC Recovery to get teh drive up and running again.
