hdd Can't initialize new HDD

[Qelt]

I really need some help...
 

I've gotten a new Toshiba 6TB internal HDD as a christmas present, which is great 'cause I'm running out of storage space. But after I've connected it to my motherboard, I went into Disk Management (or whatever it's called in English) and tried to initialize it I got the following message: "The specified disk is not convertible because the size is less than the minimum size required for GPT disks". If I try to select MBR instead I get the message: "The specified file was not found" (translated from Danish).

I've tried switching out the SATA-cable and plugging the cable into other ports in my motherboard, but this doesn't help.

Is there any was to fix this or do I have to return the HDD for a new one?

 

Any help, or attempt thereof, would be incredibly appreciated.

 

Specs:

Motherboard: Asus Z170-A

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.50Hz

GPU: Gainward Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

RAM: 2x Corsair DDR4 8GB (can't remember Hz or specific types)

HD: Kingston SSD about 250GB (mostly used for the OS) & some generic 1TB HDD (for storage)

See if running DISKPART in the command line works (I'll leave instructions on how to do so to this website: https://macrorit.com/partition-magic-manager/initialize-disk-gpt-mbr-from-cmd-diskpart.html)

 

If it doesn't work, I would get a replacement.

Unfortunately it didn't work. I keep getting the "The specified file was not found" error message. So I think I'll contact the seller and trade it in for a new one.exit

 

 

Thank you so much for the help though
