This process will wipe any remaining data on the drive.

Several common scenarios lead to this display:

| Symptom | Likely Fix | |---------|-------------| | "We couldn't create a new partition" | Disconnect other drives, check boot order | | GPT/MBR error | Use diskpart clean + convert, or change BIOS boot mode | | Drive not visible at all | Load storage drivers (Intel RST, AMD RAID, NVMe) | | Unallocated space but drive has data | Partition table corrupt – use diskpart clean (destructive) | | Can't select unallocated space (greyed out) | Drive may be offline or unsupported (e.g., dynamic disk) – convert to basic using diskpart |

Click on the setup screen, select the space, and click Next . Scenario 4: The Drive is Not Showing Up at All
