Formatting a RAW file system drive

It's has been long time since the las posting of troubleshooting. This is another one, the method to format a drive that the file system was changed to RAW. But before that, RAW is not a file system, RAW is really meaning like raw meat:D or ready to be changed or formated. So, RAW is not an error file system but a file system that need to be changed again. But sometimes our flash disk, hdd, and other storage types. It usually changed automaticly, because an unstable voltage, plugged out without "safely remove" for (flash disk and external hdd), and many mores.

So, now you understand a little bit about RAW.

Now Follow These Steps:
1.Go to Start -> Control Panel(For XP, switch to classic view)
2.Administrative Tools
3.Computer Management
4.At the Left side select Storage -> Disk Management
5.Right click at the DownRight side at the RAW file system drive.
6.Right click and select New Partition
7.Follow the wizard until the end.

Happy Trying:D.

@Kenneth,
sorry I didn't found your comments before.
Maybe the partition is a system partition, which is locked.

@Vismay,
Recently I also got the problem just like yours after few BSOD. I still can't found out the problem.

But you can try scanning for bad sectors for your hard disk(if you can) with HDDScan Freeware.
