So my desktop recently crashed and kept having a windows loop error. I ran a systems diagnosis and the hard drive failed the Short DST check. I figured I needed a new hard drive.
I bought a new hard drive today and successfully put it in. I had the windows ISO file installed on a USB drive. During the windows installation; it seemed that the USB was installed as a Bootable drive.
When I open the Disk management window, I did not get the prompt to format the new drive. Nor can I create a new volume on the existing drive.
So what do I need to do? Did windows automatically format and partition the new drive upon the fresh install? Do I still need to partition and format my new drive?
