    my HDD won't let me convert from RAW to NTFS, even after cleaning adding partition like I tried everything and still doesn't convert it to ntfs and shows "DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.
    See the System Event Log for more information." can't even use "chkdsk" since the HDD is RAW

    Hi Everyone

    i am making a video from my phone suddenly video stopped and i start again but my camera shows sd card memory full…. so irritated. but after sometime i checked my SDCard on my laptop, one file shows .mp4.tmp0, i delete it this file but when i refreshed the screen .mp4.tmp0 file came back. again i tried same step but its nothing working. So, i decide to delete the all files from sd card and i delete whole files from sd card but then again i refreshed screen all files are came back
    i tried to format in FAT32. So, windows was unable to format SD Card.
    when i try to format in NTFS, its done but unfortunately files are back again after refreshed screen, i tried EASUS partition recovery, DISKPART Commands, Attributes command but nothing happened

    Please suggest me solution

      Abhi: Hi, the .mp4.tmp0 is a temporary file created by your phone. From where you refresh the SD card's contents? from phone? or from your PC? Have you tried to restart your phone?

    Hi! I got stocked in method 1, after format "fs=ntfs quick", my disk isn't visible any more. Some error occurred and I couldn't make the format. What can I do?

      After format, you have to assign a drive letter, in order to make the disk visible in explorer. p.s. If you receive errors during format, check the hard drive for problems.

    Ultimately, it was the 3rd method that finally worked for me. The first method was a classic failure, as the same problem existed after completion of method 1. Method 2, however did solve the problem, until the next computer reboot, then the disk became RAW. This, after almost 2 days of "Clean All", and an additional 2 days to format. So, I then went to Method 3, completed all of the steps, and had no issues at all. I rebooted to test it, and still have no problems at all. Hopefully it stays this way. Thank you for listing all these methods. It's always a learning experience.

    The software(HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) you've suggested was also failed to format it. Whats the fault then? Every time I try to format it shows that the drive can not be formatted or failed to format. Can you please help me on this?

    Method 3 works but not as the details. I used convert gpt instead of convert mbr on a 32gb pendrive. Love you brother.

    Tried all three methods to format the SD card neither of them worked. Tried the mentioned software for format it also failed at 99%. There are no bad sectors or errors in the disc, its perfectly healthy. Is there any other solution to it, please help. Thanks.
