Hello,
I have found an old hard drive (about 2015) and i plugged it into my computer - like usual above my original hard drive. I then loaded up Windows 10 and tried to access it. It wasn't under Computer as normal. So i opened up Disk Management:

But when i right clicked on the main partition - to see if i had to give it a letter, the only option was Delete Partition:

Is there any way to access the drive?
Many Thanks

Hi there Darrkwolf,

Do you have some data stored on the drive? In case you don't, you can just delete all the partitions -> repartition and reformat.
In case you do, you can use some data recovery tools in order to retrieve the data and do the aforementioned.
