Is this USB hard disk still in RAW format? Have tried any possible way to extract files out from this RAW format external hard disk? If not, also do not panic! Immediately stop writing new information to this drive and see whether some RAW file system external hard disk data recovery software is possible to recover everything original back.
Therefore, go search and try proper data recovery software.
Learn to make drive data backups well from now on.

In this case you should use data recovery software to recover the files and data.

Don't panic! In computing, the RAW formatting problem is really common. What you are always supposed to do is firstly restore all your wanted data and format it this drive to fix its problem afterwards.
So, from now on, do not save anything new on this drive in case that any new file would overwrite your needed files.
Download a RAW drive data recovery freeware to restore all your inaccessible data back from this RAW hard drive:
http://www.freeware-fix.blogspot.com/2013/02/raw-hard-drive-recovery.html

Note: Next time, I hope you can learn to back up everything important in case of similar data recovery problems.
After the data recovery process, you can try to format this drive to see whether it can work well again.

SOURCE: How To Recover My Data.?

Dear Rabeesh,

I'm guessing that you've formatted hard drive partitions containing Windows 7. If so, the drive will eventually become RAW as it contains the system files and the OS.
You need to run the professional partition recovery software (http://goo.gl/5eEjN), capable to recover RAW partitions from your hard drive. Follow the link mentioned above and try the software. It comes in demo version, so you can try it for free and once assured, you can go for premium version to recover all your data.

How do i fix my usb flash drive .. it keeps going raw when i try to convert from fat32 to ntfs

When you say try to convert, you mean reformat from fat32 to NTFS? Depending on the size you may not be able to write it as a NTFS. Also, if you have anything on it you want to save, you need a raw recovery tool Squidoo has a good one.
However, if it won't let you format to anything and keeps reverting to raw, most likley your drive is damaged beyond normal repair.

Need restore my RAW file system back to NTFS without losing any hard drive files?

There are two options for you to get your drive stuffs back right now:
1). Do not format this RAW file system external hard drive temporarily and plunge it to your PC. And then, choose and apply RAW external hard drive data recovery software to scan this drive and find your preferred drive files back as many as possible.
2). Directly consult some professional data recovery services from some data recovery companies or agencies.
In the future, remember to save copies of everything important on at least two devices in case of any similar data loss issues.

After I format my hardisk for several times and the file system still showing RAW. how to make it ntfs.

Install the drive on a working computer and access through disc management. that will allow you to initialize the drive and format it ntfs. Goto my computer right click select manage select drive management. This works on XP if you have other OS than search for disc management for your OS.

Run diagnostics on the drive it may be failing. If it's ok you can try to reformat it from Windows Disk Management.
