Windows 10: HDD INSTALL INCORRECT FUNCTION

HDD with caddy not initializable, says "incorrect function"

I own a Dell Inspiron 5767 laptop which came with a Seagate ST2000LM003 2 TB HDD. However, I got Crucial CT250MX500SSD1 250 GB SSD and replaced the HDD with it in the primary slot. Now the Seagate HDD is installed in the DVD reader slot using a Caddy, while the SSD is in the primary slot and is used as boot directory. Windows installation ran correctly, but whenever I go to "Create and format hard disk partitions" in Windows 10 it says that Disk 1 is not initialized. Also, there is no information on the size of it. If I try to Initialize disk, it says "incorrect function". Also in Device Manager > Disk Drives it is named as "Unknown device".
I tried it on Linux and the HDD is discoverable. I tried to format it to NTFS with Linux, but Windows still doesn't recognize it.

Any suggestion?

Hi Johan,

It is possible that your
HDD was unreadable
causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:

• 
  Shutdown
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and
  turn on
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and
  restart
  your
  PC.
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
laptop/computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.
