If you have a much older machine running Windows 7, and you have not kept your BIOS and RST drivers up-to-date, UPDATE THEM. You will not unable to use more than 2TB of any larger drive without an update to the last Windows 7 supported version of RST. I was so frustrated watching these tutorials, unable to simply do what was shown. After mistakenly selecting MBR, and reformatting, the drive was still detected as 2TB. Once you update the BIOS and RST drivers, the full drive can be utilized.

I was looking for that option. In my windows 10 you have to go to tools, than type disk management in the search bar. It will ask if you want to manage and partition disks. I was just about to download a useless piece of third software. Thank you very much, Sir!!
fixed my 5tb thanks.
I SPENT AT LEAST TWO HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY NEW HHD. I found your quick, simple, and to the point video. I can go to bed, thank you for making the video~ and for existing~~
Legend TYSM

Thank you!
That was so awesome and EASY.Thank you! I bought two 4tb drives a while ago with the intention to setup an NVR for my camera. Thanks again, this was very helpful.
Thank you so much! I spent hours trying to figure it out what was wrong!
I know u did this ages ago and prolly wont read this but thx a bunch bro.. I brought a 8tb hdd and only had 2tb available i was like wtf is going on.. was doing my head in for hrs i'm just so glad to come across ur vid and fixed everything before my hdd became a frisbee and killed someone…
Yo thats fast. Thanks!
Thank you this worked.. I was wondering why when I got my pc back from the shop with the new hd it only gave me 1 tb… and I was like whoa wait a minute…… Ohhhhhhhhhhh….
I got lucky and yours was the first video I clicked on. Bought a used drive and Windows would only let me set it up with a 2TB partition. You saved me a lot of time. Thanks. 👍
My new drive isn't even showing
It's been a while but you saved me a lot of wandering around and head-scratching. A heartfelt thank you.
Jesus, my HDD (4TB Wd Black /WD Gold) is not even getting recognized in Diskpart

Legend thank you this worked! appreciate the help this video reached a part of the world youd never expect and helped me lol
Thanks bro. Just installed a 4TB HDD under Windows 10. Your video is concise and to the point.
I ended up having to buy a damn software to unallocate the HDD as it kept saying there was boot info on it. I unplugged the sucker and windows booted fine, even made a recovery drive just in case. This was my last step as when i first got windows 10 either i didnt know about GPT or it wasnt allowed to be more than 2 TB. Thank you so much!
Mine- I don’t see convert to GPT disk- the only available selection is dynamic drive or MBR, what to do please? thanks!
