Solution
In command, prompt run each line below separately in the order they appear.

diskpart (there may be a delay while it opens a new command prompt where you'll continue commands)
list disk
select disk # (# is the number of the disk displayed after running the list disk command)
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick
assign letter x: (x can be any available letter you'd like to give the drive)
exit

Your disk should be ready to use.
