My External Hard Drive is now classified as RAW - can you format it
Dear Forum,
I have a Generic Flash External Disk Drive that I am having trouble formatting.
It has data that used to be on it before I changed the Storage Policies on the Control Set in the Registry Editor after reading on how to do it on the Microsoft Knowledge Base Formatting disks and drives: frequently asked questions
I have copied and pasted the data that was originally on the disk - I just want to know if there is a way of making the Generic External Disk Drive usable again.
I am unsure of the different names to change it to and just wish to utilise it again.
I tried to change the Format via this link How to Format FAT32: 7 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow - It came up that I had bad sectors.
Can someone please assist?
