Before you proceed to initialize the disk, remember that initializing disk will result in data loss. In other words, initializing the disk will erase the data on it, if any. So, if you have data on it, it would be better to contact a data recovery expert or use third-party tools to backup the data from the drive first before initializing. Usually, initialization required only for new drives.
Initializing a disk in Windows 10
Step 1: Open the Disk Management. Right-click on the Unknown, not initialized message and then click Initialize Disk option.
Step 2: When you get the Initialize Disk dialog, make sure that your disk number is selected, select the partition style as MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) and then click OK button. Congratulations! You just initialized the disk.
If you are confused between GPT and MBR, I suggest you select the MBR. If you want to convert MBR to GPT later, you can do so.
