I just installed ubuntu today so I dont really know much about unix/ubuntu, but I have a little problem.
2 years ago, I bought a pc with a 3tb internal hdd. I installed w7 (64bit), but I had an issue, basically i formatted the hdd as MBR (instead of GPT) and I could only see 2tb instead of 3tb. I read that to fix such problem asus had a tool (called disk unlocker https://event.asus.com/mb/2010/Disk_Unlocker/ ) that basically mounts a virtual drive containing the missing TB that windows couldnt see, so I used that.
Now the issue is that under ubuntu, of course, i only see the 2tb partition, the extra one (that windows can see only after running disk unlocker) appears as "free space".
Anyone know if theres a way to mount that missing partition under ubuntu?
One solution would be to format the hdd as gpt but I cant do that.
Thanks!
