Hi Narenda,

Sadly, if the file system is displayed as RAW, it means that Windows cannot detect the file system and it is set as unknown. I would recommend you to connect the device to another PC and check if the situation will be the same. Sometimes sudden changes to RAW could indicate a serious device problem caused by physical damage. If you have important data on the pen drive, try using data recovery software. There are some suggestions in the Downloads section of this forum.
