    Hello, how are you?

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    My name is Paloma B., I'm an independent advisor, I'm here to help you in the best possible way.

    I understand that you would like to format your disk.

    Please check if it is possible through the procedures below.

    First open the Command Prompt, press Windows + R, type cmd and click OK.

    1. In the Prompt type DISKPART, when it opens, DISKPART will appear on the left.
    2. Type LIST DISK, this command will list the hard drives installed on the machine, pay close attention not to choose the wrong hard drive.
    3. Type SELECT DISK “X”, in place of the X put the number for the HD you want to format, put without quotes.
    4. Now just type the commands below and press Enter at each command.
    5. Commands:

    CLEAN

    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

    SELECT PARTITION 1

    ACTIVE

    FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK

    ASSIGN

    EXIT

    EXIT

    I await news.

    If these procedures helped you in any way, please click on "I solved my problem" and also mark as an answer, so you can help others users.
