Windows 10: W10 Diskpart/disk list

Hi to all and thank you to Spunk and Navy LCDR - Issue almost resolved from your help.

I have just installed, in my notebook an old SSD EVO 850 Samsung as a 'second' separate SSD to use for a back-up.

When I try to use Diskpart to clean this SSD I encounter a hitch. After bringing up diskpart, I type 'disk list' and enter, but instead of the list of my disks being displayed, a long list of options' titles available from A - Z is shown.

How do I get to see the list of my disks ( 2 of them)? I see from others on line that entering 'disk list' does show the list of disks in their machine.

Guidance over this obstacle would be welcome.

Best wishes
Lonjong

Hi. Fafhrd and Samuria


Many thanks for your response. Can I blame the 'rorre' on a temporary blip of dislexia?

The disk is no set up as reserve storage.
