I'm trying to format a disc...

Hi,

To assist you better, kindly provide us more details by answering the following questions:

• Are you formatting in NTSF or FAT32?
  
• Is the Windows 8.1 Recovery Files still inside the hard drive?

Meanwhile, to format disk, make sure that the File System is set to NTFS. Create a partition so the system will allow you to format the drive.

Once you have created a partition, you may then proceed to format the hard drive partition with diskpart in Command Prompt. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.
  
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• Type diskpart, and then hit Enter.
  
• Type list volume, and click Enter.
  
• Type select volume <volume number>, press
  Enter, and the volume you want to format will be selected
  
• Type format fs=ntfs quick label=test, and hit Enter.
  
• Type exit, and then click Enter.

Let us know how it goes.
