A partition on the internal hard disk, Local Disk E, is asking to be formatted. I formatted it once yesterday, but after a few hours, i encountered a blue screen error saying unexpected store exception error and the system restarted. During restart it mentioned fixing drive E and once it started, again the E drive is asking to be formatted and in the disk management it's file system is shown as RAW. What should I do to get back the drive without it resulting in fatal errors?
