I have a USB- Drive with 6 TB. suddenly the Drive contains two Partitions. One can be used, the other not. Neither on disk management nor with Paragon Drivemanager.
What shall I do?

There is only one partition. The rest is unallocated space.

You need to convert the disk to gpt partition style to be able to access more than 2tb.

Did you have data on that disk? Is it all present on the 2tb partition?

Make sure to use a partition manager that can convert mbr to gpt without data loss.
