How do I increase my 4tb drive since Seagate Disc Wizard isn't working on Windows 10.

So, stupid me thought that upgrading to windows 10 would be fun but just recently I noticed that my second partition on my 4tb Seagate SSHD is missing and now I can't use that data. I went into the Seagate Disc Wizard application and I couldn't remember how to use it and I also think it isn't working the way it is supposed to. Is there a way I can get that data back because the files are still there but I keep getting an error when I click on it. And more importantly is there a different or better way to let windows 10 allow me to use all 4 terrabytes?

Hey there, MrCMoney.

I'd recommend that you access Disk Management, to see what it says about the drive and its partitions. It would be great if you could post a screenshot of what you see there (you can use imgur.com to upload the image). What kind of error do you get exactly? For data recovery, you could try the drive with a different computer or at least with different SATA cables and port on yours, to see if it's recognized and if you can access the data. Another option is to try an access it via Linux Live USB/DVD, to see if it's properly recognized, or try with data recovery software: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
