Hi!

I have a very strange problem with my external SSD.

I used it to create a partition in order to create a bootable disk to install W10 on another computer. When I plugged it back to my Mac, I was only able to see the new partition and nothing else. I have backup of all data on the drive so I decided to format it entirely.

Now, Disk Utility shows this weird thing.

The external drive shows two 1 TB units. SSD is the OLD partition before formatting. My SSD is the new one. I can't get rid off the old partition.

Any ideas of what is going on? Also, as now I am going to use the SSD both with Mac OS and W10, which format and partition map should I use?

Thank you.
