Disk became RAW after chkdsk operation

After chkdsk detected a wrong index entry and acted, a disk became RAW.

  1. With diskpart, trying to clean it before formatting yields:

    DISKPART> clean
    DiskPart has encountered an error: The device is not ready.
    See the System Event Log for more information.
    
  2. Could not find any corresponding entry in Event Log > System

  3. Then tried:

    DISKPART> detail disk
    
    ST8000DM 004-2CX188 USB Device
    Disk ID: {500ACEB6-CDF0-47C2-882D-1905B6CD8F1C}
    Type   : USB
    Status : Online
    Path   : 0
    Target : 0
    LUN ID : 0
    Location Path : UNAVAILABLE
    Current Read-only State : No
    Read-only  : No
    Boot Disk  : No
    Pagefile Disk  : No
    Hibernation File Disk  : No
    Crashdump Disk  : No
    Clustered Disk  : No
    
      Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info
      ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  --------
      Volume 10                     RAW    Partition   7452 GB  Healthy
    
  4. Given the result, it seems that the disk is alive.

Is there anything that could be done?
