Hook up the drive to your computer and follow these two tutorials one will show you how to delete the volume and the other will show you how to create a new volume. If that does not work then try Partition Wizard.

| | Only the disk as hardware will be shown in Disk management. You will have to initialize it first (right click on the disk symbol on the left), then you will have to format it, and then you'll be able to partition it. |
