Try the 'clean' command on diskpart.
DISKPART> select disk x
DISKPART> clean

then all partitions will be gone.

The last image shows why there is a problem.

The Disk 1 device is reporting itself as 'SATAFIRM S11'

This is a controller/firmware issue and might be fixable but you would lose any data.

You're going to have to work with it a bit... https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=39228 indicates connecting directly via sata rather than USB can also impact results.
