HDD Help

Hi LTT community,

 

I have a 2TB HDD with a strange issue. i have no partitions on it, and it shows up as 2 unallocated blocks. Please refer to the included image to see what i mean.

if anyone knows how to combine these or if this is just normal please let me know. 

 

Thank you,

Pbr38

 

P.S. This is a Seagate Pipeline HD 2TB HDD

It needs to be a gpt disk to have it all in one partition, mbr won't go that high.

 Make it a gpt drive. MBR only supports 2tb, bu right click on the drive at the left and select convert to a gpt disk.

Thank you for your assistance, while fiddling around i noticed at the top where all partitions are in a vertical list, there was an unlabeled partition that was supposedly 0mb. once i deleted that the drive became one complete unallocated block. sorry to waste your time, and thanks once again for assisting me and my stupidity
