    I did not understand what you want.
    - Was it working and you've lost the files?
    - Is it a new drive and you want to initialize it?

    If it's new and you want to have all 10 TB available, you must convert it to GPT.
    As a data disk, a GPT disk can be used on a Legacy or UEFI BIOS.
    A GPT disk can only be boot able with UEFI BIOS and Windows 64 bits.

    Your disk must be converted to GPT and then formatted.
    The instructions are here:convert-mbr-to-gpt
    - Download and install Mini Tool Partition Wizard
    - Open partition wizard and select the disk you want to convert.
    - select Convert MBR to GPT and Apply.
    - Right click on the partition and select format. Select NTFS

    Can you post a Mini tool partition image of the disk so I can see if it is the way it should?
