  1. 4TB hard disk showing 15TB


    I bought a 4TB hard disk 2.3" external storage, but when I plug in crystal disk show that is pending sector and show caution. Therefore I format the whole hard disk to try to fix it, when I go in disk management, it show 3.7TB is allocate, but there is 12TB unallocated. I end up erase all partition and format it.Afterward I end up get 15TB of unallocated space, from there I was able to do any formatting and return to the original 3.7TB space, anyone has any idea what happened? and how can I fix it. Is already under GPTThank you in advance

    :)

    4TB Hard Disk Installation issue

    Tried Partition Magic, GParted, Seagate Disk Wizard(from bootable media) and even DiskPart on command prompt. Nothing seems to work. Yes! the hard disk is internal one. I am thinking of trying to get it formatted on some different machine and bring it back
    to my system. Being Sunday, I don't think GigaByte will respond today.

    Thanks! for taking keen interest in my problem friend.
