Unable to format second HDD after reinstalling windows
Hi, I have a laptop with 2 HDD, 1 SSD used as the C drive and 1 500GB HDD used for storage. When I installed windows both drives were recognized formated and windows installed without issue. But when I loaded up my laptop the second HDD gives the message it needs to be formated. Let the formate run several times which took anywhere from 20min - 3 hours and it always failes. Ran clean all through diskpart then tried creating a new simple volume but same issue. The second HDD is not active and not partitioned. I had both HDD working with no issues before reinstalling windows.
