@whoamit, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Partition the existing hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) to create a separate storage area (partition) using empty space on the drive. Windows labels the new partition with its own drive letter and uses the partition as a separate drive. Making a new partition might be useful if you need to share files on a drive, but want to prevent access to your personal files by keeping those files on a separate drive.
I suggest you refer to this document for further troubleshooting: HP PCs - Partitioning and naming drives (Windows) | HP® Support
I hope these steps help resolve the issue
Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps.
Take care and have a good day.
