    Raw Partitions

    Hi Everyone!

    A few days ago, I accidentally told the Ubuntu Installer to wipe my Windows 10 partition. I quit the installer, but my partition is now RAW.

    What is a RAW Partition?

    In Windows, partitions with an unknown filesystem (like my Ubuntu partition) are marked as RAW. In this case, Windows was unable to recognize the filesystem type. Lets say your Windows partition filesystem gets corrupted badly. Windows would mark
    it as RAW. So, in short, a RAW partition is
    not a filesystem, but an error of the partition.

    What happens if you have a RAW partition?

    It depends. If your primary partition is RAW, Windows will not boot. Period. If an external storage device or other partition is RAW, Windows will ask you to format it. You will not be able to get any data off of this partition.

    Is this error fixable?

    It seems like it also depends. If your partition's filesystem got really messed up, then no. This will happen:

    > The type of this file system is RAW.

    > CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.

    However, I have seen reports of people fixing a RAW partition. This is what happened:

    > The type of this file system is NTFS

    > The first NTFS boot sector is unreadable or corrupt.

    A little suprising, but this is good. It means that your partition is fixable. The first sector is what caused the RAW error.
    p.s. I used chkdsk to get these errors

    How do you fix this error.

    First off, you will probably need a Windows Installer device.

    If you can get to a command line, skip this part.

    Boot from the installer.

    Set your keyboard, mouse, etc. Click next.

    Click Repair your Computer (bottom-left corner)

    Click Advanced Options (or similar)

    Now, first, try and use Startup Repair. If Startup Repair works, great! If Startup Repair fails, keep reading.

    Open a command line.

    Run the following commands in order:

    > diskpart

    > list volume

    This will show you the RAW partition, and what letter it is.

    > exit

    > chkdsk /r /f D:

    Replace D: with the letter from Diskpart.

    You should get some errors at the beginning (first sector corrupt). Don't worry, it is actually fixing the second sector!

    If that doesn't work, then you are in trouble, and should just reinstall Windows. Sorry

    I hope this tutorial was useful. And also, please leave comments if you have another method that worked for you. Thank you!

    raw partition not formatting

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!
