A "factory reset" should only work on the "C drive".
Unless the system came with both drives preinstalled.

I'm not even going to ask Why you did this....

I picked to wipe all drives and I want to wipe the hdd that I accidentally unplugged so will it still work? And it happens because I have some HDDs and SSDs that I don't want resetting so I have unplugged them and the cable to the hdd that o want to reset was loose and unplugged.

'will it still work'?
Absolutely unknown.

I suggest starting over.

Just like you started the first time.

But this time, have only the drives you want involved, and don't mess with it until the process is over.

Well, if it is still trying to do it, leave it until it finishes.
Or until it fails completely.
