How do I format a drive that was in a windows storage pool

TheJedi
Go to solution Solved by Oshino Shinobu,

Elevated CMD:

 

diskpart
list disk
(replace "disk 1" with the correct disk for you)
select disk 1
clean

 

Then you should be able to manage it normally either through Diskpart of Disk Management GUI.

I had this windows storage pool that had a 1tb hdd and a 750g hdd.

I took the 1tb out and only just found it. Want to use it in my pc

It wont let me create volumes on it. It gives me the error 

 

"There is not enough space on the disk to complete this operation"

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
