becomingRAW
as per my Thread here . . .
> 3 TB WD External Hard Drive NOT Working [ RAW ]
I will, over the next few days, have extracted ALL the data I need from it via a Docking Station, and I would like toFormat
it asGPT
and use it as an internal drive.
Would the following be the BEST way to achieve this please ? . . .
Code:diskpart list disk select disk <n> <- The Disk Number of the WD External HDD clean convert GPT create part primary select part 1 format quick fs=NTFS exit exit
. . . or would usingDisk Management
orMiniTool Partition Wizard
[ Portable ] be the way to go ?
I would prefer usingDiskpart
!
Thanks.
