Hard drive not showing full capacity windows 10

But is there anything else that may be done in order to get my computer to recognize the full disk space of the new SSD?Īs I said, other than displaying half the space it should, everything else appears to be functioning properly.

Is this a BIOS issues? It was updated in August 2018, so maybe I should update that.

So I cannot see in the BIOS if it reads the proper disk space. It says that SMART passes and Short DST is not available. If you are using an external hard drive, then make sure it is connected to your system correctly. In BIOS I cannot seem to locate the drive, but I can run a drive test. These 3 suggestions can help you do hard disk not initialized fix of the no disk space problem. The computer sees the correct model number for the memory (Kingston SA1000M8960G).

Together, it does not allocate for the full 1 TB. There are small particians for recovery and the main C partition, but that's it. I went through Disk Management and it doesn't show any unpartitioned space. It claims that the drive is ~500 GB, not 1 TB. Everything appears to function well, except that it does not show the proper disk space. Cloned the hard drive, replaced it in my laptop.

Recently I upgraded the SSD on my HP ZBook 15u (Windows 10) from a 500 GB drive to a 1 TB drive.
