I'm trying to format a 4 TB hard drive as a single partition. I am running Windows 2008 Server R2 Standard, Service Pack 1. I have already tried converting my disk to GPT, successfully, but that only increments the number read by the OS by something like 20 GB. It's something like 1600 GB MBR and 1620 GB after converting it to GPT. How do I get the OS to recognize all 4 TB as a single partition?
Windows – OS reads only 1600GB of the 4TB hard drive
