What to do with the disk?

Question

Hard disks

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!

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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