Reclaiming a previously Linux drive that won't show in windows

[wind niche]

I'm trying to recycle an old NVME drive that I'm pretty sure contains a Linux filesystem that I had been playing around with. Unfortunately, Windows Disk Management won't let me do anything and other disk utilities like Rufus and DISKPART can't even see it. When plugged in Windows gives me a popup warning the drive is "inaccessible".

I don't care about the data on it, all I'm looking is to somehow get the drive to a state that's formattable and ready for a windows installation. Is there anything I can do within windows or am I gonna have to boot something into linux and clean it from there?

Try a different app like minitool partition wizard or something like that

[low turtle]

use a portable linux install (on a usb drive) and partition it with that

it makes sense windows wont partition linux drives

just like linux doesnt like making windows drives

[broken horizon]

Linux still does better with windows drives than windows does with Linux drives

Really kind of a matter of filesystem support on either side (or Apple) but typically believe can format an entire disk from either ignoring the current filesystem contents and be "fine" dunno what's happening in this case though

Mixed filesystem support is itself always a pain especially when it comes to having file shares (NAS) but just in general. Filesharing also have to deal with NFS or samba or both for sharing protocols. Anyhow in this case though if just formatting a whole disk should be able to ignore any existing partitions
