Raw diskformat problem

[Sheddar Faplet]

Hi ive been having problems with my diskspartision right now i have 6 discs connected to my pc (internal harddrives) 4 of them works fine but 2 of them seems to go to raw format everytime i restart my computer my parts are realitvly new, i have a gigabyte arous mobo and 16 gb of DDR4 ram a ryzen proccessor and a gtx 3060. when i format the drives they format to NTFS drives and works fine, but as soon as i turn off the computer and turn it on again it goes straight to raw format, and have to format the disks and lose all of my data, need help to turn them into NTFS drives permanetly 

 

its an SDD 120 GB

I am not much of an expert here

 

but did you try removing an existing drive(one of the 4 working ones) and then plugging this in and format it?

Try diskpart? If you have a Windows USB installer lying around you can press Shift+F10 at the install screen and then type some commands:

• Type "diskpart" to enter diskpart
• Type "list disk" to show a list of connected drives, if there are too many you can try figuring out which drive is which in your BIOS
• Type "select disk [disk number]" to select a disk
• Type "clean" and then "convert gpt" or "convert mbr" depending on if you want a GPT partition scheme or an MBR one

Then just close the diskpart window and enter Windows setup, where you should be able to use the installer to format the drives.

Tried it, by removing a good disc and replacing it with the raw disc, the same problem

Hmm, strange. You sure your BIOS isn't doing some RAID autodetect stuff between AHCI or ATA?

You have a Gigabyte mobo so it should be in the BIOS settings under Boot or Storage or something. I can't really give more guidance than that since every motherboard's BIOS might be slightly different, but usually you can reach the BIOS by pressing F2, F12, or Enter at the boot-up screen

A setting that says RAID Autodetect, I guess.

Something else I thought of just now:

Did you use Disk Management to format your drives, or did you use the windows explorer prompt?

Huh, well I'm stumped. How about trying plugging in the drives to different SATA ports on your motherboard? Unless you have another PC to test with, I'm not sure what else we could use to rule out the problem.
