  • I am having a problem adding another hdd, why?

    I wanted to add another hdd 1.5tb to my system because I need the extra storage for video. I formatted it but when I came back to it this morning it had split it into 3 sections. Something I never did. I deleted one of the partitions and it combined with another but the the other won't work to extend to. I try to format it but it says it is too small but it show 880gb. What am I doing wrong?

    What are you doing the partition work with?

    Try using this free program, delete all partitions on that disk, then create the single one you want

        Nice to hear you got it going!

        So was it just partition issues after all?
