    Hard Drive Not Showing Full Capacity


    I recently redownloaded windows 11 from a USB onto my PC, but my storage is only showing 13 GBs. I have a 1 TB Hard Drive but it shows the maximum storage as only 13 GBs. All my drivers are updated and there doesn't seem to be any partitions that are hidden. Can anyone help?

    Capacity of hard drives

    I've been thinking of upgrading the secondary storage of my pc. Currently my pc (hp-r203tx) have following specifications...

    • 4gb samsung DDR3L ram plugged into second slot
    • Intel i5-5200 processor
    • Nvidia 820m graphics processor with 2GB DDR3 graphics memory
    • An HDD of 1tb capacity
    • And a dvd drive

    Current RAM limit as shown by CPUz is 16gb.

    My question is, can I replace my current HDD with a new one maybe with more storage capacity like 2TB or 4TB?

    Also, is there a way to exceed the supported memory limit for both hard drive and ram?

    And would it be a good choice to go with RAMs of any other brand?

    Hard Drive not Showing

    Hi Lori,

    Thank you for posting back.

    • How are you connecting the Hard drive to your computer?
    • Have you tried connecting the hard drive to a different computer and check if it works?

    It's possible that your USB drivers are corrupt. I suggest you to try the following steps and check.

    • Press Windows Key +R and type
      devmgmt.msc       to open Device manager.
    • Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers
      at the left bottom.
    • Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click on
      Uninstall to remove it.
    • Repeat these steps for the entire USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    • Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.

    Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.
