Storage Capacity Problem

Hi there,

I just bought WD My Book 4TB online.

but when I connected to my PC it shows 2TB storage and in Disk Management 2048GB is healthy and 1677.99GB are Unallocated

All the options are gray when I right click on Unallocated Space.

check the attached screen shot for the same.

Thanks…

Did you accidentally format the disk with an MBR partition table, by chance?  

4TB disks require GPT format.

No I didn’t do anything I just opened the box and connected to the computer and there was 2TB…

but then after searching on the internet I found the same solution and I did the same process and now it’s working absolutly perfect.

Thanks a lot Tony for your reply :)
