December 2, 20169 yr I replaced a small hard drive in my Unraid 6 server with a larger one. I would like to use the old Unraid HD in Windows again. However, when I attach the drive through a USB dock, it is not recognized in Win 7 & or Win 10. Is there a process to "unformat" the HD so that it can be recycled for use in Windows?

If it doesn't show up in "Disk Management" it's probably a hardware issue. https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-open-disk-management-2626080
December 2, 20169 yr When you say "not recognized", do you mean it doesn't show in Windows Explorer (File Explorer in '10) ... or that it isn't shown in Disk Management? It's normal that it wouldn't show in Explorer; but if you go to Disk Management and it shows, then all you have to do is delete the existing (Linux) partition; and create a new volume for Windows. Just right-click on Computer (This PC in '10); select Manage; then click on Disk Management.
