What Causes the CHKDSK is not Available for RAW Drive Error?
The list is short but it may provide additional info helpful in resolving the problem:
Solution 1: Clean Boot
If you are experiencing problems with a hard drive other than the one where your system is currently located or if the scale of the error is not severe enough to prevent you from booting your computer, you can always use the clean boot method. Clean boot makes sure you disable all third-party apps and services from starting up and you check whether the problem persists. If it doesn’t, you turn on the apps one by one to see which one causes issues!
Solution 2: Try Formatting the Drive to Other File System
If the cause for the error is mere mistake in the file format which could have occurred because of a variety of different things, you can also easily format the drive into a different file system such as NTFS for hard drives and exFAT for USB drives in order to resolve the problem. Even though this method will save your hard drive, it will also delete all data on it so make sure you know what you are getting into! The solution below assumes you have a functioning Windows recovery drive which is necessary if you can’t access your hard drive or PC properly. If you don’t have it, check out just how to create it easily for Windows 10: Now you can starting working on the solution! Note: If you are unsure about which drive number belongs to your USB device, the easiest way to do so is to check its size at the right pane. Additionally, it’s the same number which appears in the “Where do you want to install Windows?” window where the error originally occurs.
