I'm trying to test the performance of my external USB drive. I have two partitions on it. One is formatted as exFAT whereas the other is a RAW windows partition.
I am at a loss about using IOMeter to test the RAW partition. The drive letter never shows up in the disk targets
. I see some volume GUIDs in the list so I used DiskExt and this is what I see (my RAW partition is mounted at E:)

The volume GUID i'm looking at is e7d19258-be34-11ed-995d-f894c28a313e
, second from below in the list above. My IOMeter windows shows this:

Has anyone ever used IOMeter with a raw partition? Dynamo
seems to have a FORCE_RAW
flag but I'm not sure how to use this so that my raw partition shows up in IOMeter. I even tried having all partitions removed hoping it would present itself as a raw disk but iometer still wouldn't see it.
Any pointers?
