I included a screenshot of the partition disks tool in Kali installation.

I have two hard drives on my laptop. A 128ssd and a 1tb hd.

After totally screwing up the installation now I can't see my large hard drive anymore. Windows is still installed on the SSD, however I can't view the hard drive in Windows nor can I in the above screenshot.

I will not mess with linux anymore I thought I could just make a small partition and install it on there but i have screwed it all up. Please help I just purchased this laptop.

Here is the BIOS. The boot priority is my external DVD drive. My SSD with Windows 10. And Kali. I want to delete Kali and convert it back to Windows compatible.

Wow, you have been a member here for over 10 years and this is your first post. That is awesome my friend. Welcome to the wonderful world of computing!!!!

My first piece of advice, do not install Kali Linux onto your hard drive. Kali is a very specific tool that is not designed to be run as a daily OS, it is a tool that is designed to accomplish specific tasks.
