Seagate External Drive

[John Parkes]

I have a Seagate 3TB external drive.
I created a primary partition at 2TB (Drive E), to leave 1 TB for back up.
Drive E created correctly as an active primary partition, however the remaining space (unallocated) cannot be used and attempts to create this as a simple volume have failed. Format is NTFS. HELP !!
