Hi there @menu
from Windows command mode
1) Diskpart
2) list Disk
3) select disk <disk4> I think it would be in your case
4) clean
5) convert gpt (optional step but I prefer gpt HDD's these days even just for data disks)
6) create partition primary
7) format fs=ntfs quick
8) assign
9) exit
now you should have HDD ready for use and assigned a disk letter.
you don't need to create an efi partition for this disk either.
Cheers

Unknown Not Initialized Disk unknown not initialized issue can be caused by various reasons like virus infection, file system damage, bad sectors, MBR corruption, partition loss, etc. It is the easiest way to fix disk unknown not initialized issue by clicking Initialize Disk option.
Please open the Command Prompt by typing cmd.exe into Start Menu, right-click on Cmd.exe, and open it as an administrator.
Following commands will delete all partitions and data on disk 4.

You are very welcome!
