How to format an HDD
There is nothing that says "new simple partition" when I right click on it. There is "new simple volume" would that help? Also, it says I only have 1862.89 GB rather then the full 2TB. Is that normal?
That's what I meant.
And yeah, totally normal. Hard drives are advertised using decimal (1000 KB per MB), but the windows file system reads them in binary (1024 KiB per MiB). The size difference is because of this.
