Please bear in mind Im new to PC (coming from mac) and I just built this thing myself, so I admit I dont know everything... Anyway... Problem is as follows.
C Drive = 500GB m.2
D Drive = 3TB HDD.
During original win 10 install, something got fucked up with the install, and somehow some files (system reserved stuff) ended up on 3TB drive. So I unplugged 3TB drive, and reinstalled windows again with just the m.2. All seemed fine. I unplug PC, plug 3TB drive back in, all is good...
When I look at 'This PC / My Computer' I just see my C drive - PIC BELOW...
Now, in order to get it to 'See' the other drive, Google says that I need to 'initalize it' - OK, so here it is awaiting my command. You will notice however, its in 2 parts - Its partioned itself....
So, if I go to 'initalize' the first part, I can... See pic below...
I can make a 'new simple volume' OK, thats great... But when I click on the second part, that is greyed out... See pic below.
Now at this point, you might say - Yes, because you need to do the first bit first. Make that D then it wont be greyed out and you can do the other part and make it 'E' then merge them together etc, and I would agree. That would be ideal...
But heres the thing... I cant. I can initalize the first part, format it etc, and get 2 TB, but even with it formatted, I cant get that last bit to play nice - Its still greyed out..
Ive tried it a couple of times, and when I made those grabs, Id just deleted it again. So any ideas guys? How do I make the other part formatable, without needing to use another PC (Which I dont have) or is the drive bad??? HELP
Aside from that, Ive AMAZED myself and everything else is working FLAWLESSY ! Even the subtle red glow I wanted s a 'nod' to RGB but not a full on fucking DISCO on my desk !
Anyway, hope you can help
Thanks in advance
