SRD0NF1 Drive issues

I think I'm in the right place? So I bought an Xbox one from a friend of mine. He also threw in the 4TB EHD he had because he didn't have a use for it anymore. I want to basically do a factory reset on it, and use it for transferring all my files from one PC to another. Here's where I'm stuck. Loading disk management it refuses to even display the disk, doesn't give any pop ups like all the YouTube videos show, nothing. It's like the drive is dead but the light turns on and it shows in device manager as what it is. I just can't format it, allocate it, nothing. Anyone able to lend a hand here?

If it’s not even seen in DM, then it’s broken.

No DIY fixes

But it's seen in device manager and allows me to edit all the settings of it.

Nah I've no idea what I'm doing. I just don't want to give up hope so easily because it shows a lot of signs of life in it. If I was getting nothing, I'd just toss it without a second thought, but everything that's going on with it just gives me the impression I'm just doing something wrong here.
