Convert RAW File System into NTFS

Have to Convert RAW File System into NTFS?

Hey, I have a latest Olympus camera with a Sony 16GB SD card. Inside this SD card, more than 300 pictures are stored. But, recently, since I ejected it out from this camera without shutting down, the SD card seemed to be damaged. When I inserted it to my computer with a SD card Reader, an error showed up: “The card is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?” Moreover, its file system was labeled as “RAW” (but, it is often NTFS). Do I have to convert this RAW SD card into original NTFS by formatting? Could any one help me copy out all restored photos at first?

My school presentation was really wonderful for these restored photos.
