I got a 2.5" SHDD 500gb Seagate with Ubuntu on it. Couldn't format it on another PC. So I cleaned everything with active@kill. Now when I want to install win 10 on it I got nothing in the list of available storage devices on where to install windows page. it gives me an error that drivers is missing. I used both USB 2 and 3 but still problem exists.

Even I can't find this HDD in the BIOS .

What should I do?

Does this HD show up ok in another computer? If so, maybe in that computer: a powerful disk management utility, Acronis Disk Director, MiniTool Partition Wizard version 9./1, or any other available free and pay-fors out there, that can be aimed at this ext HD.

I'm not sure what you mean by its not showing in the bios but you used it on usb2 & 3... Is the drive installed to a sata port or is it in a usb drive dock/adapter/housing?

Click the drive options link on that same page and see if it shows up there.
