    Hi,DawnWilliams8

    My name is Erik. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    I've looked for the details regards about your concern and kindly follow these basic steps

    You can used the diskpart.

    1. Open CMD (press the Windows key + R and type CMD then hit enter)

    2. In CMD type: Diskpart and hit enter

    3. In Diskpart type: list volume and hit enter

    4. Type: select volume X (X being the drive letter of your unallocated external hard drive) then hit enter (you can find out which Drive letter is assigned by looking in Disk Management)

    5. Type: "delete volume" and then hit Enter

    6. Type: "list volume" and then hit enter (If the tool is not able to create a new volume, follow the steps below)

    7. Type: "select volume X" and then hit Enter

    8. Type: "delete volume" and then hit Enter

    9.Type: "delete volume" override and then hit Enter

    10. Open Disk Management and try to create a new volume on the unallocated drive and set the file system to get the unallocated hard disk repaired.
