After chkdsk detected a wrong index entry and acted, a disk became RAW.
-
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.
-
Could not find any corresponding entry in Event Log > System
-
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
-
Given the result, it seems that the disk is alive.
Is there anything that could be done?
