diskpart doesn't show disk

Hey,

I am trying to install Win10 on a mac book air.

However the diskpart does not list the disk even after reformatting the partition as NTFS per suggestion.

read through this solution but cannot move to step 1 listed in the solution by Ivan as that disk doesn't see that partition it was just able to reformat.

DISKPART says "Virtual Disk Service error: The disk's extent information is corrupted" ? Which disk is "The disk's"? How to fix this?

I had to reinstall Windows 10, and since I did that I can't re-create a RAID-1 mirror on two identical disks.

It doesn't matter if I used the GUI Disk Manager or the command line
DISKPART, so I'll post the command line version here

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> diskpart

Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.16299.15

On computer: ARES

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

Disk 0 Online 111 GB 0 B

Disk 1 Online 5589 GB 9 GB * *

Disk 2 Online 5589 GB 5588 GB * *

DISKPART> list volume

DISKPART> select volume 0

Volume 0 is the selected volume.

DISKPART> add disk =2

Virtual Disk Service error:

The disk's extent information is corrupted.

DiskPart has referenced an object which is not up-to-date.

Refresh the object by using the RESCAN command.

If the problem persists exit DiskPart, then restart DiskPart or restart the

computer.

Attempts to get an answer from Microsoft for this have met with:

- reinstall Windows - didn't fix it from a clean USB-based install;

- in-place update ("I promise this will fix it") - didn't fix it

I've been using Windows for 30 years and I've never had this problem. It's clear nobody at Microsoft seems able to help....!
