Windows 10: W10 says it cannot format my new Hard Disc WEOTC-1T, I don't have Office 360 software, not...

I bought a 931GB Removable Hard Disc as my last Toshiba Lap Top gave up on me and I lost everything.

I have a new HP Pavilion Lap Top but would like to download all onto a separate disc device, but W10 goes spinning for ever then says W10 cannot Format this device, so what can I do.

I ma not too technical so I need simple instructions, can anyone help me, Don

Wiped hard drive partitions keep coming back on Win10 Recovery disc

Thanks all for taking the time to review my case.

I guess my description was misleading.

I meant I am unable to wipe hard drive`s partitions. Not the virtual drive ones.

Step 1 - Boot error on normal startup saying a recent hardware or software change could be the cause

Step 2 - Repair disc. Attempts to do startup repair but fails saying it could not do so.

Step 3 - New OS installation. On partition delete, I attempted to delete existing partitions. Fails with message we couuldn`t format the drive.

Step 4 - Launched command prompt repair and attempted clean. Though t says clean is successful, contents are still undeleted.

Step 5 - Used partition manager within recovery cd, to format the hard drive of my tab. (32gb). Format says successful but the contents on hard drive came back.

Step 6 - tried to convert partitions to MBR. No luck. Same issue.

I am able to read my hard drive contents through to command prompt. So I am presuming no hard drive crash.

Also virtual ccd works fine. So no processor issue I guess.

I am damned for now unable to figure ouit what is the issue.

 

3250 Hard format

I think You can´t. That is the only working code on S60v3 devices. The old methods to do an hard format don´t work on last generation of devices.
