Hello,

 

So my main computer needed a RMA on a part and I've since moved everything into my old computer so I can still work, but I've since ran into a problem where windows is unable to create a partition onto one of my SSD's, it just says "Unable to format drive" 

 

I've attached images to give better detail into the problem.

 

If anyone could give advice here it would be great!

 

Thanks,

Rasher
