On an AMD based system, the AMD AHCI driver may be blocking the toolbox.

I can remove the drive and put it in a caddy and Windows treats it as a normal drive. When in Windows DISKPART does NOT show the drive, disk managment does NOT show the drive, and Windows Explorer does NOT show the drive. I removed the drive and installed in my PC, again it shows in bios fine. I wrote a few large files too it and read them no issue, Scandisk is fine. I just in Windows 10 right now, wiped the drive NTFS Default Allocation no problems and gave it drive letter M:/ which is unique. You can then rightclick and format it to anything you want. It should now show up as a disk with RAW formatting. If youre trying to delete data to sell or donate the drive, Secure Erase wipes all the data from an SSD but it does not reformat the drive or permanently. Then, you can 'exit' diskpart and type 'diskmgmt'.

Be very careful not to select your boot disk!Īfter that, you can 'create partition primary'. Then you can 'select partition ' and 'delete partition'. Then enter Diskpart (Just type diskpart). Search for 'cmd.exe', and run it as admin.
