I installed a 4TB Seagate external HD on a Win 7 Ultimate system to use as a Norton Ghost 15 backup drive. Because Ghost 15 does not recognize drives larger than 2TB, using Windows reformat utility I attempted reformatted it to NTFS and break the drive into two (2) 2TB divisions (one formatted 2TB primary partition with the remaining 2TBs as free space. However, what I ended up with was a disk with 3 divisions: one (1) healthy 1772 GB primary active NTFS partition, followed by one (1) 275 GB division of unallocated space, and then one (1) 1678 GB division of unallocated space.
Three questions:
What is difference between hard drive free space and unallocated space?
How do I combine the (2) two unallocated spaces into one contiguous block?
If I can't combine the unallocated spaces, how do I convert them to (1) one contiguous block of free space?
