I formated my SSD to free up some space and this is what I did: I completely turned off my pc; Took out 2 HDD that were on; Put them on my table; Left only the SSD; Processed to format the SSD and install OS. After doing all the installation and everything, I turned my PC off again and put back my 2 HDDs. The problem is that now only 1 is showing up on my Windows. On Disk Management it shows as Disk 2 - Dynamic - Foreign Read More: On MiniTool Partition Wizard it shows as Disk 3 MBR (Bad Disk) and only gives me the option to convert from dynamic to basic. Read More: What's going on here? In my opinion it's literally impossible for the HDD to die like this, after 30 minutes because I was installing windows on my SSD. Thanks :)
