Floppy disks becomes RAW data format when writing on disk (format, saving, etc.)

I need an answer in my never-ending question..

Every time I access my floppy disks especially when I
format them, the next time format says that the floppy
disk's data format is RAW. Then it will try to convert it
back to FAT. If it fails, which always happens, then it
will tell Tracj 0 or bad - disk unusable, even if the
disk is just newly bought.

Two possibilities here, try getting a cleaning disk for
floppy drives and clean the read/write heads, if that
doesn't help your read/write heads are probably out of
alignment. Toss the floppy drive and get a new one. They
are pretty cheap these days. Good luck.
