Don't do that Terry.  You'll have to pay to send it back.  Maybe someone
from here could do it via remote desktop while you watch (and learn),

The DISKPART command you need is 'list disk'.

The one you have is almost certainly fine.  To wipe the odd GPT
partition(s), you can use CLEAN in DiskPart.  Type HELP CLEAN for the
syntax.  Once you have done this you should be able to create a standard
MBR partition table, then create a partition and format it.
