Hi, I've got a new 4TB HD in my usb enclosure connect to a surface pro 4.
My surface can view the 4tb but after formatting into NTFS, the HD ends up being in Raw format instead.
I tried splitting it into two partitions but they both show up as raw as well. I've deleted and reformatted many times but the hd always ends up in raw format.
I used an old dock and I could only see 1.7TB of the 4TB but could easily format that 1.7TB into NTFS. This shows that at least the hard disk is working.
I am assuming the old dock only supports up to 2TB but the new dock says it supports 4TB on the box.
I used testdisk and it says: bad ending head chs and lba don't match.
Any other way to force format it into ntfs? Why does it default into raw everytime I format?
