In general, the "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives." error occurs when you try to run the CHKDSK command on a hard drive that has a RAW file system. What causes the file system of a hard drive to become RAW? Two of the most common reasons behind hard drives becoming RAW include:
● The file system on the hard drive is either missing or damaged
● You haven’t specified any file format while formatting the hard drive
And, how to fix "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."?
Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
2:09 Method 1: Fix the chkdsk is not available for raw drives error using the Error Checking
3:07 Method 2: Convert RAW to NTFS without Losing Data using Command Prompt
4:17 Method 3: Converting RAW to NTFS/FAT32 by Formatting to fix the chkdsk is not available for raw drives error
How to fix "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."?
The first method to troubleshoot the error is to use Windows “Error Checking” tool. This way you can easily format the hard drive and regain its access. However, it’s worth noting that if you use the “Error Checking” tool, you’ll lose the entire data on the hard drive. So, only use this method if your hard drive doesn’t have any valuable files. Besides, when it comes to fixing a RAW hard drive, many people also recommend using the “Convert” command in Command Prompt. This command is designed to help users convert the file format of a hard drive to different formats such as NTFS/FAT32. The best part with this method is that it doesn’t formats the hard drive to convert the file format system. However, there is no assurance this command will work 100%. It may or may not work, but it is worth giving a try. Well, since “Convert” won’t work, the only possible solution would be to format the hard drive and manually change its format to NTFS or FAT32. before converting RAW to NTFS/FAT32 by formatting the hard drive, it would be a good strategy to recover all your files from the hard drive so that you don’t have to deal with valuable data loss. Here you can use a professional data recovery tool such as Wondershare Recoverit. That's all possible solutions you can try to fix the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives error.

too many fake profiles commenting that the above tips worked.
Can anyone tell me what's with all the promotion of these paid software. Isn't there a free way to solve the above issue ?
@@doomtoob Not really, no. Your best bet is finding a free data recovery software or one that offers free trials. The market is very saturated though and companies are not offering free services due to high demand.
If your files weren’t that important, just move on and learn from this. Start backing up ALL important files unto multiple storages.
@@DistinguishedSombrerou found any software?
Non of this is working for me, Windows can´t complete formating, disk management gives out CRC-Error, MiniTool Partition Wizard doesn´t let me do anything with that drive and even in Windows installation I can´t delete and recreate that drive. It happened when my StraightPower failed right after warrenty (yes, it was a 2008 series which got world wide fame for bad caps) and it was laying around for years. Would I have any chance recovering the drive using Linux?
Thanks,method 2 was a life saver I didn’t really need the data so it worked great for me,almost thought I lost my new pen drive earlier :)
My USB drive issue is: Write protected. Cannot formated because is write protected.
In Registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies WriteProtect value 0" the drive is still write protected.
The status in "online", "Current read only" , "the file type is RAW" so windows is unable to check the drive.
F/r/x doesnt work.
DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
So what else can I do?
I just bought a Toshiba Canvio 2TB online and formatted it to NTFS, it worked well for hours until it crashed. I went to the online store to read more about the product.
It is said that it only supports exFAT format and never to be reformattes to NTFS..
Now I am having problem to revert it back to exFAT, cause I can't anymore access the drive itself. It shows up on the computer but when you try to open it, it only says "There is no disk...."
I tried the Chkdsk, device manager and windows troubleshooter.. None worked.
Has anyone experienced this kind of thing too? need your help please..
Hey whenever i recover my files using wondershare I always get two files of everything, that is recovered and this is very annoying. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Hi Thanks for the great Video. Unfortunatley i get the message "There are many bad sectors in the dsk that the scan cannot continue. it is recommended that you restore the currently scanned files as soon as possible. "
There seems to be a bug with chkdsk in Windows 7.
I have a USB stick that was formatted by a CCTV DVR, chkdsk fails with RAW error, but selecting properties -> tools-> error-checking correctly recognizes it as FAT32, and can check & scan the drive. Weird!
This fixed my problem. Stress has now gone. Thank you.
hi, saw full video. your second method at 3:58 is it 100 fullproof !! does it harm/ loose data in the drive. I like to try, but bit apprehensive.
I can't format the corrupted partition or do any thing to solve this issue I try to take actions like in the video and when it asks to format and I give permission the PC crashs and restart it self, tried too many ways and still same problem.. Any other solutions please?
after wasting a lot of time watching the other videos this is only one I found helpful. Tysm
Glad it helped! Please subscribe our channel.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware but its a paid software
@@mohammadrafin8243 Exactly ☹️☹️
It works! However, in the disk management, it won't let me change the exfat to ntfs, it will later on change to raw and, again, repeat the problem. I hope you can help me solve this. Thanks
Hi there, using the chkdsk command, I tried to fix my external HDD but It displayed the file system type (NTFS), however, the chkdsk process was aborted and a message pops out saying "the first NTFS boot sector is corrupt or unreadable". It tries to read the second sector, but again, states that it's unable to determine its volume and state. Hence, I still CAN NOT access my data. Any help ???
Is your problem solved
hi i have a total new SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB i used in my drone to write the flights with my dji air unit and goggles......i was watching normaly all the videos till suddenly the drive was not detectable at all.....after using partition in dos it became a RAW 30mb and it dont allow me to format it with ANY WAY...I TRIED CMD I TRIED YOUR PROGRAM AND ANOTHER SIMILAR 10-15 PROGRAMS but nothing at all....it remains a RAW 30b....in CMD it dont allow format too after selecting disk clean etc etc etc ....shows an error that there is no enough usable space or something like that......i tried everything....is the sd card dead i guess???
Hi,
where will be the recovered files go to? can i relocate them if ever?
Downloaded over 200 photos of kids youth, sports, friends, careers, etc. Highly recommend. Thanks much
Irresponsible and dangerous advice that is nothing but an advert designed to get you into more trouble and in need of the paid software! I imagine everyone who has clicked 'like' did so before they followed the advice! Always work on a clone! Never format your damaged hard drive unless it's empty or has no data you want on it, especially if you're not using fast format!
Glad I saw this, I hate these fucking videos. I just restored my drives gpt partition and used chkdsk to fix it, and none of these advert videos was any fucking help.
I’ve tried these tips and none worked. Thanks would try clone.
@@jamesrussell9124 how you clone your hdd i have a damaged hdd and i cant copy nothing from him how i clone my data ?
Well yeah its pretty obvious but im kind of desperate right now bcs I dont wanna buy another 1TB drive to copy everything too, I want NTFS to function on this drive without reformat.
@@ISAK.M hy did you found the solution?
i am so sad to have lost access to my extrenal drive. It seems to be RAW files(dont know how that happened.I downloaded Recoverit and chose my Dics but after a while I got an error message saying "Disk (J:) disconnected, reconnect and re-scan.Does the problem still occur? Click here" :'((( Of course my disc is not disconnected and the bad thing is that if I right-click on it, I have NO assess to it AT ALL. Please, please, please help me.
Been having difficulties for days.i used most methods,didnt work.but the last method(disk management method).thanks alot buddy
What if I try to format and it says "Data error (cyclic reduncancy check)"
Tried a couple of videos before yours and yours actually worked, ive been locked out of my usb for so long and never wanted to format it because i have over 30gb of photos and videos that if i lost i would never get back so i kept it away just incase one day it decides to work and that one day came, when i stumbled across your videos. cheers.
Liked and subscribed.
which method worked for you please? I dont want to format my card. I have files on it
Thank you soooo much!! The 3rd step was effective!!
You've saved a lot of businesses a ton of money that would've had to refund clients. Thank you my guy!
When I tried to format raw localdisk, blue screen appears with kmode exception not found and system restarts
Tried the convert command as shown in the video but same message again
Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process
Wow at long last I’m relieved 😊 thanks so much, you’ve got a new subscriber ❤🎉
Bro i have use both method but the drive is not formatting i used cmd but it's lag
is it also possible to clone the local raw drive itself to a new drive? my raw drive is custom and is made to function with a wii but im unsure if any of these methods to read the drive may break functionality for the wii
Hi there, thank you for your question! It is possible to do so using disk cloning software. However, since your raw drive is custom and made to function with a Wii, it is possible that cloning the drive may break its functionality with the Wii.
Sir I have done chkdsk on my raw memory does it deletes all the data??
if I right-click on the USB drive letter I see a circle rounding for minutes but nothing happend. What can I do?
Is it possible to restore a partition that was previously showing as RAW and is now showing as unformatted on an SSD? But I need to keep the data intact on that partition as it's for an xbox that won't work without that raw partition being present
Hi there, thank you for your question! It can be challenging but may be possible with data recovery software. Firstly, stop using the SSD to prevent further data loss, then install data recovery software like Recoverit on another computer, connect the SSD, and perform a deep scan to recover your data to a different storage device. After successful data retrieval, try repairing the RAW or unformatted partition using the "chkdsk /f" command in Command Prompt, ensuring it's recognized by your Xbox for compatibility. However, if software methods fail, consider professional data recovery services.
bro plz help me to get my very precius data which is stuck in my sd card that shows " the directory name is invalid" multiple times every single time i try to connect it to my pc. bro plz help me to get out of this.
5:48 Adding to solution:
In case the disk is not present in the upper list you can find it in the lower list. In his case where it says Disk 1.
Right-click the grey area and select "Format".
Then the rest should be the same.
my drive is already NTFs but i cannot access
i dont know what should i do ?????
I have a 1 GB sd card but it shows 46mb capacity, what's wrong?
Hi, really need some help, i dont care about saving the files inside I just wanna save the SD. Currently it's in raw format, I cannot format it, ive tried windows, GUI formatter, SD Card formatter, nothing works. Ive tried to use chdsk but it wont read the raw file type, and it wont convert it either.

Bro when I do that my pc rans into problem at the end I don’t know what to do help please
I use the recoverit before format my inaccessible SD card, and it worked
Whenever i have completed my format process my laptop show an error
What could i do now
When i scan c (ssd)disk its showing error plz rescan then after its shut down and show critical process died
I've tried Wondershare Recoverit to finally recover my files but it's telling me to pay 69.99 just to do it, I hate these money hungry softwares, such a waste of time.
I can't do all these things because the hard disk doesn't allow me access. Help please?
I'm stuck with a RAW SD Card from 8GB big, that can't be formatted nor can't be chkdsk-ed in Windows 10. Converting didn't help, diskpart didn't help, defragging didn't help, formatting via a 3rd party software gave me 99% and an error "Format failed". Seems like the CD card is corrupt to the bone!
So here's my problem,, i just bought a new sd card and i also already format it into internal storage but, when i tried to move some apps it's just a few apps that has 'move to sd card' option,,,and when i tried to move other files such as photos, videos, music, etc my file manager couldn't detect that there's a sd card in it,,,also there's a folder that named 'sdcard' but the inside of it just the same exact as internal storage files and when i delete some photos in that 'sdcard' folder, the photos in the internal storage is gone,,,i have so many questions,,, please help me, thank you
Thank you very much sir, that's help me alot🌹
i am sure i am not the only one but before win 10 i never had a hd go raw but since win ten it went raw on usb ssd and hdrives i just formatted a hd to ntfs (not quick) all went ok i went to fridge for a pop then went to copy some files to the drive it said needs to be formatted but when i went to format is said it could not perform action went to win management storage it said the drive is raw i managed to format again and so far ok like i said before win 10 i never ever had this problem only on win 10 and not only 1 computer it happens on several machines and no there was no power interruptions or anything else win 10 just all of a sudden for no reason decided to make the drives raw
is these methods can fix 64 gb raw corrupted sd card?
I have the same issue. 64gb sandisk. Nothing works.
If I format it goes into kmode exception not handled
Thanks it worked in my case the entire flash drive gone unrecognised so I make it recognised by creating new volume .

U have guide
I have already purchased same but it wont work at all.. i feel cheated..
Will this maintain folder structure as well?
Hi, do you have any videos for how to fix a parameter error when trying to pin folders to quick access in file explorer. I've been at it for hours trying different things, nothing has worked. It's never worked since my laptop updated to Windows 11 Home edition, so frustrating
Hi there, thank you for your question! First try remove and repin the folders in your quick access. If that doesn't work try to reset the quick access folder by going into file explorer go to options view and reset folders.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware thank you for replying. I already did those steps in my troubleshooting journey yesterday and none of the worked. Back to the drawing board :)
Thank you very much sir, that's help me alot
Had a perfectly working internal m.2 drive in NTFS. Came home to a crashed game and the drive doing all sorts of weird things. Checkdisk won't work, says I need more privileges, and then running as admin gives the RAW error, even though Computer Management still shows the disk formatted as NTFS. So not the usual scenario. Pretty glad I hadn't mirrored my primary on to this drive yet and pretty pissed at WD right now.
hi, i know you commented this a yer ago, but could you fix it? im having the same issue with an internal m.2 (but from Sabrent), it showed as RAW and i cant access it
@@LethaR_YT It just fixed itself with a few reboots. It did it once more after I wrote that comment and then hasn't since, so who the heck knows what was going on with it. I also had all sorts of issues with a new vid card that ended up fixing themselves just with what seemed like new drivers a LONG time after the card was released, so I think these days it might just be crappy driver support. Sorry I can't be of more help, hope you figure it out!
Went through the same shot with my nvme. Mine had the windows os on it. Wouldn't boot. I tried everything but it was read only. I gave up bought a new one and returned the old one.
hey, my m.2 also became raw... but i cut it into local c & d ,the local d is the one that become raw... and the os on local C stil work
I have the same thing going on with my WD ssd. There is no fix other than to maybe try re-formatting anyways or just get a different ssd. I don't get how there are files and directories which cannot be opened because 'a device which does not exist was specified' while upon the same drive I can load and play games. Meanwhile chkdsk says its in RAW format which means I shouldn't even be able to browse files at all while Disk Manager says everything is hunkydory.
This title is misleading I think. My USB has the error of Raw files but all my attempts fail because they are RAW!! So... How come all these suggestions fail precisely because of the initial error.
is there any way to unselect the dupe media? i have 1TB and it literally duplicated one of each so now i have 2TB instead of one

thanks for such type of great video
Tried all the suggestions and still no joy. The drive isn't physically damaged however when I was copying a file from an iMac to the USB thumb drive the process got stuck and I had to force quit the transfer. Somewhere in that the file system got damaged and now seems to be reporting Bad Sectors.
Hi there,
Thank you for your question. If the file system on your external hard drive has been damaged and the drive is reporting bad sectors, you can try repairing the drive using Disk Utility on a Mac. Connect the drive, open Disk Utility, select the drive from the list, click the First Aid button, and then click Run to start the repair process. If Disk Utility is unable to repair the drive, you may need to reformat the drive and restore it from a backup. If you do not have a backup, you can use our data recovery tool Recoverit to attempt to recover your files. Keep in mind that bad sectors may indicate a failing hard drive, and you may need to replace the drive to prevent further data loss.
When i try to format , pc restarts .what to do
I have tried everything thing that you said but it’s still raw
do you find any solution ?
Same everywhere with same solutions that don't work
My 5tb harddisk is courupted but the above methods are not working last method I can't understand 1)1st we have to format the disk and use the recovery app or am I wrong pls help mee
Did u find any solution ?

Hi,
My D drive is of 1Tb and its showing RAW in disk managment
Getting error while opening drive is like '' The parameter is incorrect".
Im also unable to format the disk drive, getting error like "Windows was unable to complete the formatting"
is there any proper solution to resolve this issue, because im unable to use my 1 TB D drive from last week.
Beo what did u do after that? 🤔
Problem solved or not!
good video and i love you man? thank u my usb is ready to working thank you so mach .
Good information bro..

It's asking me to purchase it, what must be done or it only works when one buys it?
i purchased it and still it is not working
Thanks bro I appreciate it✅
It's not work convert g /fs:NTFS
Invalid drive specification
all 3 didnt work.......the last one didnt even find 1 file on my sd card. and it contained extremely important data.....im so sad....you got any other solutions? thanks
Hi there,
Could you please elaborate on your question? We're glad to help.
I followed your steps at first i got by raw to NTFS but worst is i lost my data
The drive with the RAW file does not appear under the Volume List. It does appear below (as a box) with a disk number and size, but it will not let me format it. When I left click properties in explorer, it says the drive has 0. I get cyclic redundancy error when trying command prompts, in addition to the RAW error.
Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps its most likely an issue with the drive itself and I would recommend taking it to a professional or trying data recovery such as Recoverit to potentially recover your data.
@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware Hey, thanks for getting back; I didn't really expect that. I think you're right. I have tried your idea and a few others and what I'm talking about is a ScanDisk Cruiser USB 16GB thumb drive. I have two of them and I may have erased everything such that it can't work or it's just too old. There's nothing on it (well, that being quite literal), it was just laying around and I was only going to use it as a recovery stick.
I also had an 8GB flash that I did successfully repair, so it was not that I hadn't tried it before and I think I tried everything. I hate letting go of old stuff if it works, but I think since they can be replaced so cheap now it was an exercise in learning. I probably paid $45 when they were new and they're probably $8 now. Thanks again for the info and the response!
thanks your 3 idea worked 😀😀
I tried method 2. Convert is not available for RAW drives. Wondershare Recoverit doesn't found any files. I also tried other software like EaseUS Data Recovery and R-Studio. Nothing helps. :(

sir g my pen drive is 128 GB but when I put it in my laptop it shows the format is not happening windows problem showing and when I go to cmd format it shows only 121 MB but the actual capacity was 128 GB What I do
Hi there, thank you for your question. If your 128GB pen drive is only showing as 121MB in capacity, it's possible that the drive has some issues with its partition or file system. You can try the following steps to resolve this problem:
Use Disk Management:
Press Win + X and choose "Disk Management."
In Disk Management, locate your USB drive. It might have unallocated space.
Right-click on the unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume."
Follow the wizard to create a new partition with the full 128GB capacity.
Check for Hidden Partitions:
Sometimes, pen drives have hidden partitions that occupy a portion of the drive's capacity. Use a tool like "DiskPart" in the Command Prompt to clean and repartition the drive:
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk and press Enter to see a list of available disks.
Identify your 128GB pen drive and note its disk number.
Type select disk X (replace X with your disk number) and press Enter.
Type clean and press Enter to remove all partitions.
Type create partition primary and press Enter.
Type format fs=ntfs quick (or format fs=fat32 quick if you prefer) and press Enter.
Once the format is complete, you should have the full capacity available.
I tried method 1 and when it tries to format my device it won't work. Please help?
I also tried method 2 and 3. It just won't let me format my card. Its currently in raw and I use it on my Samsung phone.. I go to format it and switch it to any of the formats and it won't work. Any help I appreciate. I've got nothing on I just want to use the sd card so I can have more storage because currently everything is on my internal and my phone is super slow :/
What if this is happening on my boot drive? I can’t even open windows and I am receiving this error

None of these worked for me I bought a new sd card and couldn’t format it all without it saying that it’s raw which obviously because it’s new , but then I tried to formatt it on my chromebook and it worked ! If anyone is having trouble formatting your new sd card maybe try finding another device to do it on!
So my hard drive just sat at "formatting" for about 20m... So I guess I'm just screwed.
is there a method on how to open the usd drive without losing the data
Hi there,
Could you please elaborate on your question? We're glad to help.
Hi there, Scanning bad sector on USB drive not completed... Every time 70% was scanned and suddenly "Wondershare Reoverit app" shut down.(70% scan complete == Recover-app shut down). Can you please let me know why this happen?
Main error is: "Please insert a disk in USB drive"
Through CMD errors:
error1: CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
error2: CONVERT is not available for RAW drives.
When try to clean: DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready.
See the System Event Log for more information.
Formatting USB is not working in direct or CMD way . I already tried all the options that I watched on TH-cam. If anyone know any other/best solution to format a USB please let me know. Thanks
Hi there, thank you for your question! Regarding the error message “Please insert a disk in USB drive”, it could be due to a damaged USB drive or a faulty USB port. You can try plugging the USB drive into a different port or computer to see if it works. If the problem persists, you can try using a different USB drive or contacting the manufacturer for assistance.
As for the errors you encountered while trying to format the USB drive through CMD, it seems that the drive is in a RAW format, which is not compatible with the CHKDSK or CONVERT commands. You can try using the DiskPart utility to clean the drive and create a new partition. Here are the steps:
Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
Type "diskpart" and press Enter.
Type "list disk" and press Enter to display a list of all the disks connected to your computer.
Type "select disk X" (where X is the number of the USB drive) and press Enter.
Type "clean" and press Enter to remove all the partitions from the USB drive.
Type "create partition primary" and press Enter to create a new partition.
Type "format fs=ntfs quick" and press Enter to format the partition as NTFS.
If you encounter the error “DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready” while trying to clean the drive, it could be due to a faulty USB port or a damaged USB drive. You can try plugging the USB drive into a different port or computer to see if it works. If the problem persists, you can try using a different USB drive or contacting the manufacturer for assistance
Thnx buddy
