4x ADATA 1x Samsung

Can't install Windows on either of them.

It is like they don't get recognized in the BIOS diagnostics. Or well, the Samsung one does, but this one I can't find in my Disk Management, when I use it as an External Drive on my working PC. I recently got an eye on it in Diskpart, where I ran the 'create partition primary' list.
But now it won't show up again. I'm stressed out about this. Any suggestions?

Regards

Would love to, but it's gone from my diskpart now.

E: AFTER I partitioned it.

Diskpart and disk management is both showing nothing for me right now.

The PC which I'm trying to install the OS on, is in a whole other building, so can't check BIOS at the moment.

Use the systemrescuecd Linux liveboot and run cfdisk.

If your drives don't show up you have other issues.

I found it. It had apparently made a pool of 250 mb which I deleted in 'Control Panel\System and Security\Storage Spaces' and wupti, it's all visible again.

Now I can hopefully continue my installation.
