Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB drive shows up as 2TB even after converting to

Everything seems to be grayed out in the app...

If you mean Partition Wizard... you're saying you can't right click the 2TB partition and choose: delete?
Whate we want to do is delete the 2TB partition and the 15.98MB partition.



Screen shot?

I see this on mine, for example...

In the other topic....yes.

Now, if you want help, please try to delete those two partitions on one of those 4TB drives.

That is because Windows 10 can only see up to 3.3TB. You need to split the drives in half or move to Windows 11 to properly use those drives. My suggestion is getting a NAS from Buffalo, QNAP, or Synology to use those drives in.

Yup, the context menu does not pop up when I right-click the drive (same as your example)

Each drive only has one partition that is 2TB

Try rebooting the computer with the 4TB external hooked up. Then try Minitool again.

Just ignore that. You already converted to GPT.

You mentioned a server you tried these drives with. What OS is the server?

The problem here is these teeny partitions... they shouldn't be there...


This is OP's screen shot.







@jordanthompson

See if you can delete the teeny partition(s).
