Sorry in advance if this is the wrong forum sub, I have this sea gate SRD0SP0 external hard drive, and when I plugged it into my computer, instead of the 1 terabyte of free space, I have only 126.
This is a picture of the external hard drive properties and just wondering if I can get the rest of the space back.

I have zero idea of why this is happening, nor can I provide much information besides screen shots of more properties of the hard drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Dante

Hi there DanteChiesa,

It is possible that the rest of the drive's storage space is not allocated.
You can see whether this is the case if you go to Disk Management. In case there is some unallocated space over there, you can either extend the current partition or create a new one.

Hello, I mistakenly put your reply as the solution, but it has showed me there is 900 gb's of unused space, do you know how to extend the current partition/create a new one?
