Reformat Portable Hard Drive Windows 10
When I plug my external into my pc it tells me it's unable to use and to format the drive. So I try to do so, and Windows tells me that there's a program using the external drive.
How do I reformat a new MAC formatted portable hard drive to operate with Windows XP? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
I attempt to format anyway since I know there's no programs using the drive, and after a minute the formatting comes to a stop and I get a message saying it's unable to format. I've tried formatting it via 'This PC' and DIsk Management in Windows 10. Tried Quick Format as well and nothing is progressing. Help is much appreciated.

If Disk Management shows the drive as RAW, that often means that the drive has suffered hardware failures - and it might not be recoverable.
You could try downloading and installing the Minitool Partition Wizard tool and seeing if it will reformat the drive - but if the drive is having hardware failures, that's not going to work, either.It does display as RAW in Disk Management. If this is the only solution I'll try it I guess. This problem didn't start occurring until I did something to the drive in Disk Management months ago. I only now developed the urge to finally solve this issue.

This can also happen when someone disconnects a drive without using the 'Safely remove' icon. I can corrupt the beginning of the disk ruining the SVI(system volume information) causing windows to see the disk as RAW(meaning unreadable system partitioning). It's as as if you plugged in an ext.3 or ext. 4 partitioned disk from Linux. You could try typing ina command prompt: chkdsk x: /f /r –where you replace X as the drive letterLaunched Cmd as Admin. Put your command in and got this: The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives. Launched Cmd as Admin. Put your command in and got this: The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.Oh, hmmm, try: Right click on Cmd, to RunAs Administrator Then type DiskPart Then type List Disk - will get a table of disks each with a Disk #. Then choose Select Disk n (whatever the disk # is) This disk now has the focus Then type Clean All.
Format C Drive Windows 10
That will remove all partitons, formatting, data, and write zeros to all sectors. That should give you a 'new' drive that will have to be Initialized, Partitioned, & Formatted.

Hello community, I have been running into a ton of lag booting up and generally using my pc. I checked my C Drive, which my OS (Windows 10) is running on and discovered that it is nearly full.

Reformat Portable Hard Drive Windows 10
Between this and my PC being a mess ATM, I have decided that I want to reformat my drives and start over. However, I was wondering if it is possible to retrieve Windows 10 again after reformatting the drive as I was eligible for the free update and did not buy it, or if I would have to go back to Windows 7.
