Admittedly I used my external hard drive as a USB boot device for Windows using Windows ISO (I should have used a USB Flash Drive but I had lost mine). But when I was trying to transfer files from my old laptop to my new PC, I found that my Intenso 1TB USB hard drive had went from having a storage of 1TB to having 32GB. I know it has something to do with the formatting of the drive but I don't know how to fix it.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

you can either go into disk manager and delete all the partitions on the drive and then make a new one with the full space

or download a partition tool, there is tons of free ones.

Okay I messed up big time now. I used EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition 11.9 but I somehow got the USB drive not being recognised by the computer. It isn't even on devices and printers (It only shows the local disks). I'm an idiot.
