Asus ROG not using complete 1TB HDD

[QARTS]

Hello,
My new Asus ROG just arrived and its showing only 1 drive in which windows in installed.
But in Manage there is another partition of 443GB viz in RAW format.
It wasnt usable so i tried to format it into NTFS.
Even after formatting its not usable..!!
So how should i make it work?
Pls help.
Thanx

Hi there QARTS,

So you've deleted the partition, repartitioned the unallocated space and reformated it to NTFS right?(in Disk Management)
If this is the case and if the partition appears as RAW, you can:
- Back up the important data stored on the drive.
- Test it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
- It will not hurt to attach the drive to another SATA port with different cables, so you can rule out a possible connection related issue.
- Update your MOBO's drivers.

Cheers,
