| | Could you post back with a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) showing all of your HDDs' full layout? Do you have anything on the HDD that you need to keep? If so, do you have space on another HDD to move it to temporarily? |

| | Ok, good. After backing up the contents of O, you could run the clean (not "clean all") command on the O drive to wipe it out and leave the HDD as "unallocated space". Afterwards, you can just format it again without it being "active", and copy the data back to it. Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command |
