This is the USB HDD made from an old PC HDD, and was partitioned, which I do not want on the USB option. I am using Vista and have used the Disk Management to "Delete Volume", however I just have an Unallocated segment (half of it) now, I can format this, but not join the two together.
Can anyone suggest a fix, there is nothing on these drives, so I am losing nothing. They are formatted to NTFS.
Thanks
DG

The drive is still in two partitions. You need to delete both partitions, and then create a new one set at the full capacity of the drive, then format.0

Thanks - I am sure I had tried that and it did not merge together, but it has now.

How do I make it visible to the PC again now?

Open File Manager / My Computer
Right click My Computer
Left click Manage
Left click Disk Management
If this isn't visible, it is in Storage
Your unformatted disk should appear in the lower right hand pane.
Right click on that and choose your options.
Be careful that you select the correct disk.
Don't format your C drive in error.
