All;
I have a Toshiba DT01ACA300 internal hard drive that I had loaded Win 7 when I built my PC. I had partitioned it to have a C and D drive. Win7 was on the C drive. I had accepted the Win10 upgrade and over several months and after a couple of crashes where I "lost" the start button, I decided to revert to Win7. I added a Samsung SSD as my boot drive (drive C) and loaded Win7 onto it and the machine boots fine and I have Win7 back as my OS. I then went into disk management and wanted to combine everything on the Toshiba drive to one large partition. I used DISKPART and did the CLEAN ALL command since I could not combine partitions in disk management. I then created a partition (named D) and all seemed well.
My Disk Management tool now tells me that I have this drive as Disk 1, it is a Basic disk, it is online and healthy. It has one primary partition and it is active, BUT it is only 746.52 GB NTFS. I can use this space just fine. I was certain this was a 3TB drive. What has happened to the rest of the space? I am at a loss as I thought I did everything correctly. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
