[SOLVED] Can't Use Full Capacity of HDD

[sonic.and.milesprower1]

I have a 1tb hard drive that is only letting me use 780 gigabytes of storage. there is 150 gb of unallocated space. When I try to make a partition with a single mb more than 780 gigabytes, it says there is not enough storage on the drive. How do I fix this?

Screencap of your current Disk Management window, please.

I tried Niubi to add the unallocated space to the partition, but the program only sees my nvme. It doesn't show me my hard drive whatsoever.

I wonder if the problem is due to your drive being configured as a dynamic disk rather than basic. Otherwise, is the drive partitioned as GPT or MBR? MBR has a limit of 4 partitions.

I would examine sector 0 with a disc editor such as DMDE.

I would:

1. Verify full system functionality with that drive disconnected.
2. Assuming the PC works, copy any data residing in that current 780.91GB partition to elsewhere. Looks like none, but just in case.
3. Wipe the entire drive of all partitions. diskpart /clean probably.
4. Make the whole thing one large partition - NOT Dynamic.

Thank you so much, I deleted all volumes and made it basic, then I wiped it with diskpart /clean and I was able to make it one big partition. I appreciate the help
