Windows 10: Only 1/2 of my hard drive is available

I upgraded my gaming PC's hardware and software. I add (2) 500GB disks from a system I wasn't using anymore.
One disk was a Windows10 x32 system disk and had 4 partitions , one partition was 'Reserved'. I deleted all the partitions but when I was done I only show 298GBs instead of 465.75 like all 3 of my 500GB drives.

I used diskpart and tried clean.
Windows -10 Pro x64
Version10.0.19042 Build 19042

The first upload is from Disk Manager and the second is from Macrium Reflect which shows the true state of the disk.
One article I read said to initialize the disk with GPT but it still shows only 1/2.

Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
