Question Wd green 1tb hdd not showing in windows after I cleaned it with diskpart.

[Davidino]

Hi, I recently cleaned my disk, because there were unnecessary files on there. But since then it doesnt show up in windows. I cleaned it via diskpart and the disk also shows in the bios. Just not in windows. My os drive is a 256gb m.2 ssd with gpt partition style. And my bios has AHCI. Maybe that helps?

You'll have to create a partition, format it and assign a drive letter.
Only then you get access to the drive in windows explorer.
