Hello, I bought a new hard drive, plugged it in and half of it is unallocated. One half is distributed but not named, but I have already said about the second. I can’t name the first one, I can’t distribute the second one. The buttons are not active. Help!

Judging by the volume of 2048GB, the disk is marked with MBR (=MSDOS), right-click on the disk itself (on the left) and select "convert to GPT", then everything should work out, and the entire disk will be visible

Judging by the inscription "protected GPT", the disk was played with on some system that does not fully support large disks.

(briefly: diskpart, select disk 1, clean)
PS Do you have 64-bit Windows?
