Hi Moony,
I am sorry for any inconveniency caused by your My Passport drive. If the drive appears as RAW, that means that the system cannot recognize the file format. Changing with another USB cable was a good idea. Check the drive on another PC. If the situation is the same, try booting from a Linux Live CD and try to access the drive. What Command Prompt commands have you tried? Try using chkdsk I: /r where I is the drive letter. Furthermore, check the Download section of this forum for some data recovery tools. Let me know if there is any progress!
Hope this helps

Firstly thank you very much for your help. But now I have another problem is where my computer can't detect my WD Passport so i can't process on the chkdsk and also i'm not sure what recovery tools to download for this device. Any advice.
Thank you again for your time to help me.

i managed to run the command prompt chkdsk but it stated my files are unreadable and i find it strange that in command prompt says my file type is NTFS while my disk management stated RAW... Any advice please

Have you checked the hard drive on another PC and using Linux Live version? If Command Prompt recognizes the file format, there is a high chance that Linux will do it too. I recommend you to try it before using any recovery tools. I cannot recommend you any specific utility, but follow the link below. There are some popular suggestions.

When you finish using the Live version, simply go to BIOS and put your hard drive as a primary storage device. Restart the PC and it will boot back to Windows, ignoring the Linux version in the pendrive.
