I bought a new HDD 3TB, Western Digital Red, WD30EFRX. Opening the disk using disk management, it was reflected as 2 unallocated areas: 1800 GB and 800 GB. A partition was created in the 1.8 TB area and formatted without problems, and the second unallocated area was 800 GB neither acronics nor disk management could create a partition. What could be the reason and how to overcome it?

On the WD website they write that partitions need to be created in GPT and not MBR

BootIce is recommended on the forums but this is at your risk, I did not use it myself
