Is there a way I can back up my files from my 2tb WD My Passport External Hard Drive? I have a lot of files on there which I want to back up and convert to NTFS

You will need to format that RAW drive if you know theres nothing on it.

How big is that drive?

Do you want to chop it up for other things as well?

I use PERSONAL BACKUP 5, its free and can schedule backups automatically.,.

It has a wizard and advanced interface depending on your needs..

Not clear what the OP is asking.

Perhaps he had files on the drive - then it started showing up as raw?

That's my opinion too. Probably lost formatting on that drive. Now if it's because of damage to the drive or other cause could determine the way to salvage files. Easus Data Recovery Wizard promises to extract files even from that condition. Problem is if the drive is physically damaged, than it might mot be possible to salvage everything an maybe nothing at all.
