    large 4 tb drive but windows only recognizes 2 TB

    Trying to figure out a workaround to utilize the second partition on my 4 TB drive. The drive shows an active partition of 2048 GB and an unallocated partition of 1678 GB. I cannot format, activate or do anything as all options presented when I right click
    are greyed out.

    I know this has to have been presented before and I am sorry for the redundant entry but I was unable to locate a listing or a search box.
