" rel="nofollow - I just built a pc from various components (AB350 Pro4 motherboard, 4TB Seagate SATA HDD, Win10 64bit etc) all works fine. But I can only partition within 2TB!

How do I partition the remainder? Seagate disk extender does not work!

I cannot find out how to expand my HDD.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I think you need to change partition from MBR to GPT.

Dear skateboard78,

Greetings, this is ASRock TSD.

For over 2.2TB HDD volume, the operating system should be installed in GPT format (UEFI mode).

Please check if your system is installed in GPT format.

(Path: Windows > Disk Management)

If the system has already done in GPT format, please format your 4TB HDD and re-create the volume on it.

Also, please try on different SATA ports or take another 4TB HDD for verifying the result.

Thanks!

All the best,

ASRock TSD
