Cant initialize disk

Strange scenario:
Computer had a bunch of 500gb hard drives in set up as a pool in Windows 10.
Computer was taken apart and drives all removed before the pool was un-pooled.
Trying to use one of the drives now, about a year later, and it won’t initialize. It’s a single 500gb drive but still shows as the pooled drive size from before. I can't find the rest of the drives any more, can’t recreate the pool.
Is there anything I can do to get this drive working?
When I try to initialize it in disk management, it says “A device which does not exist was specified.”
 
“Disk part has referenced an object which is not up to date.”
That’s what it says when I try that.
 
The disk also does not show in disk part when I scan the drives.
