    yes. it was showing as I: drive. and i apologize for not seeing this before, but it shows in my computer, however, it's grayed out under Devices with Removable storage and when i click on it it asks "please insert a disk into drive I:"....i did change the drive letter to K: and same result, so i changed it back.

    Is there files inside ? You could open up the drive in Diskpart .

    Click on the type CMD inside the command prompt right click on CMD under Programs (1) choose Run as administrator . If you get the user access control window click on the yes button . Pic below



    Inside the command prompt . Type the commands below and press <ENTER> after each command .

    Code:
    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK #
    CLEAN
    FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
    ASSIGN
    EXIT
    EXIT
       Note

    # is the number of the hard drive . Disk 0 is the first hard drive .
    Assign command assigns a drive letter if you want to assign a letter yourself type in this command ASSIGN LETTER=[input letter here ] without the brackets

    nope i can't. if i right click it, the only options i have are to change the drive letter/path, eject (which is greyed out so i can't click it), properties, and help.
