    4tb hard drive only allows me to use 2tb


    I got a 4tb Hdd and I think it said that a certain amount is for the system or something and I couldn’t use all 4tb, I could only use 2tb. Sorry I can’t provide more info but does anyone know why this might’ve happened or if this is normal. Is there anything wrong with keeping it like this, without access to those other terabytes? Also is there an easy way to fix this?

    Edit: I remember doing something in the command prompt and I made a separate disk drive for those files (there is stuff taking up that drive so would it be wise to delete it?) also I do have things taking up disk space one the 4tb Hdd so would towing this remove the data?
