My hard drive shows 0 Bytes Issue

Hello to everyone who sees my post :)

I built myself a PC configuration and everything is great, except for my hard drive which shows 0 bytes in the cmd with Diskpart; it is not visible in the file manager "this PC" and it is also not visible in
Windows disk management.

I checked the details on another computer that has Windows because originally I was supposed to install Windows on the drive, but it needs to be converted to GPT and since the hard drive shows 0 free bytes, I can't create a partition in DiskPart from cmd. "create partition primary"

response: Diskpart encountered an error: The device is not ready.
For more information, see the system event log.

In the BIOS, it is correctly displayed as 500 GB and it is in MBR

I visited many sites on Google and found cases that seemed similar except for one detail, either it is displayed in disk management which is not my case or in the manager which is also not my case.

I heard something about Ubuntu but I don't know what it is for and how it works.

I installed software that recognized it but could not interact with this infamous 0 bytes hard drive

I am asking for your help because this is starting to drive me crazy :) I've been at it for 6 hours.

Thank you for reading this long post :).

sources or similar problem but with one detail different:

    Hi

    To convert it to GPT, use the convert gpt command launched in diskpart

    (After running list disk and selecting the correct disk)
