M2 drive from PS5, formatting to use back in a PC (problem)

[father-ted]

Hi,

I am trying to format a M2 hard drive for a mate, it has been in his PS5 but he has sold that and wants to use the 4tb drtive in his PC.
He has already tried to format it himself (Windows 10) and failed.

I have tried to format using CMD (as admin), and get a 'semaphore timeout' message.

Not sure what to do to fix this, any advice please?

Thanks

When I managed to get into the drive, there were x2 partitions.
First partition, managed to format that ok, then it let me delete both and format as a whole.
Sorted, thanks.
