hard drive formating error " theres not enough space on the drive to complete this operation"

[alexdcopsey]

i have a 2TB Seagate firecuda drive that was partitioned by the xbox one for extra storage, but due to not using it as much i decided to use it for a shared network drive, problem is after deleting all the partitions im only left with 2 but only 107.54GB is able to be formated. the error im getting is that theres not enough space to format 1.7TB worth of space.

Try re-partitioning the whole drive. Then format.

Diskpart utility may help you, run it, do a "list disk" command. Note which disk is the one you want to wipe, then do a "select disk X" to select it, then "clean" command. That will wipe all partitions off the disk. When you go to disk management you should see a blank disk that needs a new partition created. If it does not work even then, you may have some issue with it physically. Run Seatools and check it for errors.
