    And here is the Command Prompt (so far).

    Your new disk is shown as Disk 0, so the next step is type into the command line:

    select disk 0


    and then press enter

    then type

    clean

    and press enter again

    then type

    convert gpt

    and press enter

    At that point, your new disk will be one giant partition and you are done

    Have you tried EaseUS Partition Master?

    In the past I have. But look at that jpg above. My first Command Prompt in many many years. It worked.
