Question Trouble using SSD via SATA after drive was used in USB Enclosure

[c_lynn_1899]

I have trouble getting a 4Tb Samsung 860 QVO to work via SATA after it was initially formated in an external enclosure - "ADATA EX500" USB 3.1 Enclosure with the HDJMZZB1 controller inside.

The MBR got corrupted while inside the enclosure and all data was lost. To avoid the MBR going "bad" again, and to perform better, I want to hook it up to SATA3.

But it seems it is still encrypted.
I put the drive back in the enclosure, formatting and clearing everything on it - It had a 16 MB partition, I deleted that too with EaseUS Partition Master and it appeared as fully unallocated.

But after connecting to SATA, Windows Disk Manager sees a " *: (Other) " partition of 1,99 TB and 1,63 TB Unallocated.
Windows Disk Manager cannot do anything to the drive - no options available, and EaseUS fails everything - "There are some errors occurred while deleting partition"

Can I do anything to get rid of the enclosure?
Thank you for your answers.

What type of partition table does the partition master software show? You need to have a GPT partition table.

It's GPT

Can you show us the Partitions tab in DMDE?

To answer my own question:

Use CMD as admin
go to c:\windows\system32
use "diskpart" (type diskpart + enter)
a list of drives with numbers will appear
type "select disk N" (where N is the disk number you need)
type "clean" and wait a bit.
"Diskpart succeded in cleaning the disk"

now the drive is fully accessible in SATA

Apologies, I can never find the "SOLVED" button.
