My external hard drive only has 99MB instead of 250GB –how do I get the full capacity?
My netbook is broken: I removed the hard drive and now want to use it as an external hard drive:
I now have the external hard drive connected to the notebook and see the following:
I can't do anything with the disk management data…I'm a layman and have no idea…can anyone tell me in simple terms what I have to do to get my external hard drive to 250GB again?
Please don't say: repartition or something like that… I don't know how to do that and I have no idea what to click on… .

The memory size of a data carrier cannot in principle be changed.
The Media Management not mainly your disks, but the partitions assigned to them.
To use your disk, delete all partitions assigned to it and assign a new one to it.

…then…but I have no idea how this is…I have written on my question too!
So one can expect so much self-initiative that one comes from oneself to right-click on a partition and then delete it.
Driving and operating is not a problem.
Problems and damage I leave professionals, then I’m professional to destroy everything…. is my way and that’s my life. You can trust 100%, no matter how easy it seems.
I am impressed by this mentality. Are you gonna scrape your car when you strangled the engine?
Two clicks too much I could do a lot of damage as I know.
Definitely very useful if you could fix the problem with two clicks.
Yes…the stupid external hard drive comes into the trash… I can do that very well even without a mouse.
So if that’s too much for you, you won’t be able to help. If you want to change something on your PC, you must be able to use a mouse.
I’m sorry, I’m not coming with…
that is a system partition. probably because this hard disk was installed once in a computer. Your hard drive has more partitions. If you don’t care about the data, you can delete all the partitions from this disk, create a new partition and use it quite normally. Detailed instructions with image and sound are available in google youtube and co..
then I don’t need to write it anymore.:)
The meaning NO hard drives and NO SSDs. These are “volumes” also called “drives”.
Please remove the drive letter “E” from the drive in the disk management and leave it alone – at least if you want to keep a stable system.
e and f both belong to the external data carrier.
It should be drive F: Because that’s true with size.
In the lower area of the second photo (which is unfortunately cut off), you can see the actual hard drives/drives. There you can go to the search accordingly. Or you add the photo to the question.
Does everything seem to work as desired.
E: you can ignore.
Your external hard drive is F:
No, because F: is a USB stick that is also attached!
A 250gb USB stick?
Then you have not connected any hard drive, because there is no other device with 250gb.
o.k. I’ll check again…danke.
Yeah, I know you’re a layman, you don’t have to do it any more.
250gb are now final around the 232GB. The PC calculates hold in binary, but the sizes are not binary (1000 vs 1024).
That’s why again the question: did you connect a 250gb USB stick NOW?
Otherwise, this is your hard drive.
E is system-reserved and only another partition that has nothing to do with it.
Did it already connected only that the drive E: was displayed with it.
Q: has 232 GB and not 250GB!!!!
Looks like the external disk has 2 partitions, E: and F:
These are 250 GB.
