Hello all,

 

Just built a new pc. Trying to figure out how to use the 4tb mass storage drive I have, and found an article on dummies going through how to do it. Problem is, there are two uin-allocated spaces for the one drive, and I can't figure out how to combine them.

 

Help? thanks

You can just manually delete the partitions, quick format, then create a new simple volume.

 

This is assuming there’s no data on the drive that you want to keep.

Be sure to QUOTE or TAG me in your reply so I see it!

Windows Disk Management. I’m not at my computer right now, but you should just be able to right click on the partitions and delete them.
