the disk management tool also shows it as the 300gb, but it won't let me
format it or anything.
no messages that help at all as unable to format is all that happens.
Please do not multi-post, as it makes it more difficult for you as well as
those who might assist. Please check your identical post in the other
group(s) you have put it in for more information/things to try.
