Missing Space On 2 TB Drive?

Asked By Lloyd S Lebron 60 points N/A Posted on - 02/06/2015

I set up a external 2TB Seagate hard drive for back up and over flow storage. After setting it up I checked the drive size and it is reporting 120G. How could I have lost all that space with out anything installed on it? Is this a partition problem or a bad drive?

Seagate provides software to check the status in their product. Use your product model and search in Google. To determine what type of software you're going to need. After you have downloaded the software there you can check if your drives are good or factory defects.
