How do I reduce hard drive capacity

My friend is attempting to use his 8tb hard drive on a ps4, but the ps4 only supports 8tb and the drive is showing as 8.1tb Is there any way to reduce the hard drive capacity through disk management or any special program on pc?

maybe this will help?

Assuming the current 80G drive has no more than 10G worth of data, you should be able to do it via Disk Manager, SHRINK PARTITION. At the end of the operation, there will be a 70G UNALLOCATED partition which you can use later/make another drive.

As always, backup first if u need to save anything.

You will need a 3rd part software to shrink it as the built in windows utility can only shrink to where the last piece of data is.

The other thing is what software is this? Is it an operation system of some kind? If that is the case shrinking it may not even work as that might be a hardware limitation.

What OS and what kind of hardware are you running on the machine?
