Windows 10: raw and ntfs partition

Had a disk partition that turned raw. Already read all the posts on converting raw partitions to ntfs partitions without formatting disk.Convert d: /fs:ntfs doesn't work returning message "d: is already ntfs". If I open disk management the partition d: is marked as raw, btw. If I use third party tools such as minitool or diskinternals the partition is marked as ntfs and I can preview files. This is a deadlock

How to convert RAW partition to NTFS partition.

Thanks for your reply. Apparently the convert drive to NTFS doesn't work when the drive is RAW. After following your instructions in step 2 I get message "convert is not available for RAW drives.

Any suggestions?

 

How to convert RAW partition to NTFS partition.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely assist you.

Please try the below steps to convert the RAW partition to NTFS partition.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  At the command prompt, type convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs, where drive_letter is the letter of the drive you want to convert, and then press Enter. For example,
  convert E: /fs:ntfs would convert drive E to the NTFS format.
  
• 
  Type the name of the volume you want to convert, and then press Enter. You must use the existing name of the volume or the conversion will be canceled. You can view all available volumes in the
  Computer folder under Hard Disk Drives
  

Notes: After you convert a partition to NTFS, you cannot convert it back. If you want to use the FAT file system on the partition again, you will need to reformat the partition, which erases all data on it.

Although the chance of corruption or data loss during a conversion is minimal, you should back up all data on the partition before you begin.

Hope this helps. Post us with status we will be glad to help you.

 

How to convert RAW partition to NTFS partition.

Original title:

Problem: Upgraded to win10 from win7 64bit. I have 2 hdd's "C" os and recovery 1TB and "G" pictures videos data etc. 3TB. Both hdd's had NTFS file system. After upgrade "G" drive was partitioned and indicates RAW. "C" drive appears okay. Is there any way
to recover the data and change the RAW to NTFS without formatting. Why would win10 change the status of the "G" drive? I do have a backup of both drives but hesitate to use it until I understand why the problem occurred.
