I recently purchased a 5TB Seagate laptop hard drive. I cloned the disk, went through a few errors while doing it, and was ready to install it. But after turning my computer on with the new hard drive, I see that it reads as 2TB (1.82 to be exact) instead of 5TB.
Now, before you ask. I converted it to GPT, formatted it to NTFS, gave it a drive letter and fully extended the volume.
On the Partition Manager, it shows the hard drive at full capacity:
This is how the Explorer sees it.:
And the Disk Management shows this:
When I check the storage in the Windows settings, it shows as if almost all the space is being used when it's not even close:
This is where I'm stumped, and I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?
