I have a 1TB Blue WD HDD. one day, I noticed it was popping up when I was looking at my devices and drives. I tried many things to recognize it but somehow I accidently put it into dynamic and I can't get it back. I have tried many things. I have nothing on the HDD and I just want to put it back to factory settings and just start over. I need HELP ASAP! Thank You.

Hey there, Brodee!

You can convert it back to a Basic disk using the Disk Management again or using the Command Prompt line in Windows.
Before doing this, I suggest backing up all the data from that drive because the procedure will re-format it.
The easier way is using Disk Management:
Right-click on the volume(s) on the dynamic disk > click Delete Volume for each partition if there are more than one >
After all the volumes have been deleted, right-click on the disk > select Convert to Basic Disk.

Let me know if this helped! :)
