Re: pendrive stucked in RAW format
So ur PenDrive is recognized by Windows?
If yes, try to open it by double clicking, it would ask u to format b4 using...
Format and use.
or,
Right click on it and select FORMAT.
It can never happen that u can't format a RAW partition/USB drive.
A few months ago, my USB drive crashed and showed up directly as RAW...I formatted as NTFS, and it allowed me to.

Re: pendrive stucked in RAW format
Try using a Linux Live CD and then formatting.

Re: pendrive stucked in RAW format
Well, it is a 100MB download, but it is something one must really have IMHO.
And also tell us about your Pen drive? Company? Model? Capacity?
