Unable to format File system shows GW RAW

#1 Post by Crimsoncobra »

I have an SSD drive which seems damaged. File system in windows shows GW RAW. Tried to format but it will not. Tried to rebuild but that failed.

Question: is it possible to manually rebuild this drive so it is bootable as NTFS?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
