In your daily life, you use your pen drive for a lot of purposes. One such time, when you plug into your PC or laptop for some important work. It will ask you to format the disk or it will say that the drive is not accessible as shown the image below. It will also not show the details of the disk






When you check the properties of the drive, it will show 0 bytes as in the image below


Now go to DISK MANAGEMENT tool of Windows to check what has happened to the drive.

To open the DISK MANAGEMENT tool please follow the below steps:

         1. Press Windows logo + R on your keyboard, It will launch the Run window
                  
                         

           2. Enter diskmgmt.msc  and click OK



When you see in the disk management tool of Windows, It will show that the disk is in the RAW format instead of NTFS or FAT or FAT 32




I will help you with the steps to get your pen drive back in the working condition.

Right-click on the Start button in the lower-left corner of the screen and select the Command Prompt (Admin) option from the Power User menu.

In my case, the Raw file format disk was Disk 2

Type select disk 2 and press Enter

The status of the Disk 2 in the Disk Management tool will be UNALLOCATED
