    I see that you already removed the EFI and Recovery partition letters

    As the drive 2 isn't boot able, lets remove the active flag

    diskpart
    select disk 2
    select part 1
    inactive
    exit

    The drive 2 must be a Advanced Format type
    - It has an active partition, so it should be a MBR
    - MBR has a 2.2 T limit unless it is Advanced Format

    Open Disk manager.
    View - Top - Disk list ( what type is disk 2?)

    It's a Seagate backup drive connected via USB:

    As I suspected, drive 2 is Advanced Format to allow a MBR to be bigger than 2.2T.
    Advanced Format was a workaround to be able to have drives bigger than 2.2T on systems (like Win XP) that wasn't able to use GPT
    It can be problematic when formatting.
    @ricardomax, every thing is set as it should. Nothing else to do.
    You can tweak Win 11 to look as Win 7 and work as Win 10
