Windows 10: Internal SSD Showing Up as RAW

How do I fix a ssd drive that shows up as raw? My computer doesn't boot

SSD disk appear as RAW

That is good enough indication that your SSD is OK.

Now I would like you to run TestDisk again step by step.

Screen No 5 [Boot] is highlighted. You pressed Enter.

Post screen 6 showing that both Bootsectors are bad.
Should be something like this

















Note: For the above screenshots I deliberately corrupted the Volume Boot Sector at 2048 and the backup boot sector at the partition end sector 976769023 and did the Rebuild BS which then returned the screen saying both Boot Sector and Backup Boot sector are OK.

 

My CDROM is suddenly showing as RAW

Hi All,

I don't know how or why but Windows 10-Pro stopped recognizing anything I put into my CD Drive even though it was shown in Disk Mgmt as healthy.

I found out that a RAW Disk can't be recognized by Windows, so I tried multiple suggestions I read about and kept getting something to the effect of "Windows can't do anything with a protected drive". In Disk Management it lists Disks 0 - 9 and then CD-ROM
0, In Disk Part it lists Disks 0-9 also but no CD. When I list Volumes in Disk Part it lists 0-14, with 0 being DVD-ROM with RAW file system.

How can I reformat the CD drive when Windows tells be it can not access the disk?

 

Save RAW drive - Don't want data


Open Admin command prompt, then type:

1. diskpart
2. list disk ======> Take note of disk # of the RAW drive
3. select disk # ======> is the number in step 2
4. clean
5. exit

Open Disk Management and initialize it, Create Simple, format.
