Exclamation A, a, a, a, RAW format in my Flash Drive


Hi, Friends,

Windows xp defines my Pendrive is in RAW format

I've a Flash Drive (1GB). The Windows detects the drive as a healthy but no autorun.
I tried to open it but prompt for the option to format Y/N. As followed, guides to format dialogue box. Selected FAT32, clicked OK. The uitility shows in progress for a while but the msgbox appears "Windows unable to complete the format".
Same scenario in the Disk Management.

Any idea to retrieve the format (FAT, FAT32 or NTFS)?
What's the full form of RAW?

HELP!!!!

Try a third party software to format it.
