I had a spare WD 3tb my book that I want to use as an internal in my computer instead. After removing it from the case I put it into another external case so that I could format the drive and transfer from my old smaller drive (If you remove it from the WD case you can't use it without formatting it).
I made it a GPT disk as it is 3 TB and then formatted it. Once I transferred all my files to it from my old drive I put it in my computer but it didn't show up. I looked in comp management and have found that the drive is showing up as unallocated space of only 700gb.
If I put back it in the other external case I get the full drive, I have tried formatting it again in that case and putting it back in my PC but it is still only showing as 700gb available.
Thanks for any help you can offer
