    2TB Hard Drive, Showing 1.8TB FREE but has NO disk space. How do I fix this?


    I have a 2TB external hard drive I use for downloading games on steam, Microsoft store, etc. 1.8TB FREE Strictly only for games and files that come with it. I'm currently trying to download ARMA 3 which is a 140GB game, which I have "plenty of space" on my hard drive but I'm getting "Not enough disk space" error when trying to download/update a game. I've tried disk cleanups, I completely factory reset my computer, thinking maybe I had a virus or something, but my computer shows its clean. Any ideas on how to use all 1.99TB of my hard drive?

    :)

    Storage spaces does not see any of my hard drives to add to the pool

    I have three hard drives attached to my PC via internal SATA ports (500Gig, 1 TB and 2TB) and they are all functioning properly and showing in Disk Management as Healthy. When I go to storage spaces and try to create a pool, there are no hard drives listed. I tried formatting, changing drive letters and running CHKDSK on each drive with no success. They are newer drives and otherwise work fine. The primary OS is on a separate SSD.
