Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.


In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

diskpart

To view all the disks connected to your system, type:

list disk

A list of disks will appear. Each disk will have an associated number (e.g., Disk 0, Disk 1).
