Is it possible for a floppy drive to change the format of a floppy disk from FAT to RAW and can this be corrected?
Yes it is possible to change the format of a floppy disk from FAT to RAW if the operating system on the PC, which the floppy is to be formated is using but the RAW format than the flopy will have the RAW format at the end of formating the floppy
Calculated size of floppy disk to hold the data is 1.47 MB while the actual size of it is 1.44 MB the difference is of 0.03 MB for what purpose do you use 0.03 MB?
Floppy disks often have two capacity specifications; they are often quoted with both their unformatted capacity, and their formatted capacity. Since the disk is useless unless it is formatted the unformatted capacity means basically nothing. The formatted capacity is the true maximum capacity of the disk. Usually, the formatted capacity is about three-quarters the unformatted capacity. Even the formatted capacity, however, doesn't show the true amount of space available for user files, because a certain amount of overhead is taken up for FAT file structures. This is true of hard disks as well, of course, although as a percentage more of the floppy is taken up by this information than a hard disk is. The amount of space remaining after these structures are placed on the disk is the true usable capacity of the floppy. Note also that the "decimal vs. binary" measurements problem is in play again with the terminology used to specify floppy capacity. In fact, the terms are not even consistent in and of themselves. For example, a 1.44 MB floppy disk takes its name from the fact that the disk has 2,880 sectors, and each sector is 0.5 KB; 0.5 times 2,880 is 1,440, so the 1.44 is a decimal measure. But, each sector is really 512 bytes, so the 0.5 KB is a binary measure. As a result the "1.44" is a mixed measurement; the true raw formatted capacity is either 1.41 MB (binary) or 1.47 MB (decimal), and not 1.44 MB at all!

What does it mean when computer says removable disc F not formatted?
Disk F is either a Floppy, CD/DVD/RW, Flash (USB, Card etc) or Virtual drive. It means that the disk is "RAW" and needs to be formatted in one of the computers recognised formats such as FAT32, NTFS, or other recognisable mediums. Windows operating systems, Mac and Linux have simple resources to help resolve this.

If the actual size of a floppy disk is 1.47 MB then why does the floppy disk only show 1.44 MB of space?
Floppy disk is 1.47 MB but shows 1.44 MB of space... This is due to an inconsistency with measurement standards; specifically that of decimal (base 10) versus binary (base 2). 1,440 kB is actually ~1.47 MB because there are 1,024 bytes in a kB; 1,440 kB x 1024 1,474,560 bytes ~1.47 MB.Sidenote:One might think that the 1.47 MB is indeed the "raw" capacity as opposed to the "formatted" capacity. And, that the formatting itself requires 0.03MB which is used on Windows for the File Allocation Table or FAT.But...An unformatted 3½" floppy drive is actually 2.0 MB, so the 1.44-1.47 discrepancy has nothing to do with formatting overhead.Click on the link below for more info:
How much fat do dairy products contain?
Raw milk contains from 3.6 to 4.0% milk fat. This is reduced to 1.5% in low fat and 0.5% in fat free milk. Milk fat that is removed from raw milk is sold as cream or used in production of butter. Cream contains up to 33 - 45% milk fat.
