ok i bought a supposedly new HDD off ebay, it came in bubble wrap, no box.
using Win 7 64bit
put it into my PC as a 3rd HDD. i had to allocate and give it a volume in "computer management". make it online and active.
but it has a partition and I can only allocate the main partition.
heres what disk management reads.
2048gb NTFS,health,active, primary.
746.52gb Unallocated, logical
i can right click and do what i want with the main partition. delete volume, format etc, which ive done. only thing i cant do is extend volume
right click on the unallocated partition and the options are unclickable.
i have tried easeus partition manager, partition magic 8 and aomei partition assistant and i cant do any to move this unallocated partition.
ive basically paid for a 3tb hdd which is only 2tb.
is this HDD faulty or am i doing something wrong
