HDD storage space issue

[jetsonxr6]

Hi, I need help fixing a 1TB hdd that is appearing as 371GB, I have attached  pictures that help show the issue

Well, 

According to the second screenshot, the disk is detected as 931gb but the partition that is on there is only 371gb.

Is it the boot drive or is there some data on it?

If not format it and select simple volume and basic allocation.

It would allow more control over the management of partitions on that disk

Since it contains an EFI partition, it's very likely the boot drive and formatting it would stop Windows from booting.

 

@jetsonxr6, please use Windows snipping tool or Alt+Print Screen and paste into Paint to take a screenshot rather than a camera. This way we can see the whole screen and not just some small part of your partition setup.

@Eigenvektor it is not the boot drive, it was the boot drive from my old laptop, does this make a difference to the procedure, im using the forum on my phone thats why it is a cam pic

@Aditya K no it's the boot drive, it was the boot drive from my old laptop and I want to use it as a secondary drive on my pc, it has been formatted, I will do that now

if you want to use the drive just as simple storage and not as a boot drive and you don't have any other data on it you can just simply erase the whole drive.
