Can't use my seagate hdd

[Bluetman846]

I recently bought a Seagate 1tb HDD and I've tried for months to get it to work but in disk management, when I right-click on it none of the options are available except for help at the bottom. Also, I need to install Windows 10 on it but its not formatted to NTFS so thats why I've been trying initialize it and format it. I'm in desperate need of help. Thank you in advance

Have you tried formatting it in command prompt?

1) Run Command Prompt as Administrator
2) Type 'Diskpart' - press enter
3) Type 'listdisk' - press enter
4) CAUTION: identify which disk is the one you wish to format (ensure you identify the correct one) it will be labelled 'Disk X'
5) Type 'Select disk X' - press enter
6) Type 'Clean' - press enter
7) Type 'create partition primary' - press enter
8) Type 'format fs=ntfs' - press enter

The drive should now be formatted as NTFS

No, the X will be a number
When you list the disks, you will see results come up as such:

Let's assume you have 2 storage drives. 1 is 500gb and the other is 250gb.

You will see:
Disk 1 - 500gb
Disk 2 - 250gb

So if you wanted to format the 250gb drive, you will type 'select disk 2'
