Question New SSD - Only recognizing half the space

[AFly]

I recently installed a WD_Black SN850X 4TB. I initialized the disk using disk management. Unfortunately, only half is "Healthy" can I can't do anything with the 2nd half. Extending is not an option (greyed out), can't initialize it either. I don't know what to do after searching a number of articles and YT videos.

What OS are you using and is it 32 bit.

 

[kerberos_20]

MBR partition scheme is limited to 2TB, to go above this, you will need to convert your drive to GPT partition scheme

in command line type in:
select disk 1
clean
convert gpt

drive will be cleaned and should be able to be partitioned above 2TB limit now

@kerberos_20 This was the reason. Thank you much. My problem is solved.
