Hi there! So, I'm facing a really weird issue.
I have an absolutely new WD Purple [2 TB] and I know it's classed surveillance but since I've received it, I wish to use it with my desktop.
My motherboard; Asus Z170 PRO GAMING
SSD: Samsung 120GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
I placed the new WD Purple inside, connected to SATA ports, booted up Windows 10 - first go I could spot it in BIOS but could not find it inside Windows 10. So I changed the SATA Ports and I can now see it in BIOS as well as Windows 10, but to be able to "format" I have to initialize the disk, and I cannot initialize the disk.
When I try to Initialize the disk I get the following errors;
MBR: Incorrect Function
GPT: The specified disk is not convertible because the size is less than minimum size required for GPT Disks
In device manager under "Disk Drives" my WD shows up as "Unknown Device"
What should I do to get the WD Drive working? Or is it a faulty drive and I return it? Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S: I've updated all motherboard drivers.
