I have a1TB Toshiba external hard drive, it was formatted and now only has 80 GB of storage space available. How do I get all the space available to use again?

What does it say in Disk Management? Is there any unallocated space?

What happens if you right-clcik it? Do you get a menu? If you do, choose format.

All options are greyed out when I right click as well. It will not let me format the unallocated portion.

Is the drive encrypted/password protected? Try this method https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/external-hard-drive-remove-write-protection/6320592e-3986-4e9a-9df2-ab0d1e8e85cc

Have you tried a different USB cable (if it's not fixed). It could be the HDD has I/O errors. Run a chkdsk maybe.. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html
