Hi there – from what you’ve described, it seems like the instructions at [Disk part to recover drives](https://forums.balena.io/t/disk-part-to-recover-drives/103213) may be able to help you. Can you go through the instructions at “– Manual Method via Diskpart – Windows:” there and let us know if this works for you?

All the best,  
Hugh
