2.5 TB External Hard Drive Partition

Hello,

I have windows 7 home premium 32 bit. I got a new WD Elements 2.5 TB external hard drive. The laptop detected it perfectly and it showed about ~2.25 TB space. The problem came when I tried to partition it into two partition, one 1.75 TB and other ~500 GB. I tried windows 7 data management. When I shrunk the volume to make first 1.7 TB partition it made it correctly but it created two ~250 GB un-allocated partitions. Then I created one partition from first un-allocated space and tried to extend it but it is not giving me an option to extend it. Also it is not allowing me to create another partition from remaining ~250 GB partition.

I tried EASEUS partition manager but it shows whole external hard drive as unsupported.

Can anyone help me with it please?

Regards,
Alex

Thanks for reply. But is there any other way? (Free may be?)

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your replies. I tried both of them but still not able to use that unallocated space. Is it something that I can not use more than 2Tb in a 32 bit system? (I am just guessing, but i was able to detect ~2.25TB when I used it for the first time.) Is there anything I can do about it? Is it a bad-sector problem?

I just added a screenshot of disk management..
