Symptoms of RAW drive

A partition used in its native mode, and without having a file system existed. We usually call it as RAW.

  • Invalid media type reading drive.
    Abort, Retry, Fail?
  • File system is displayed as "RAW".
  • Windows may ask if you want to format the drive, such as warning "disk not formatted. do you want to format now?". Such as the follow picture.
  • File names contain "weird" characters.
  • "Sector not found" messages.
