The article: "Support for drives 2 TB in size or Larger with Symantec Drive Encryption" at
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH200...
says that "Symantec Drive Encryption does not currently support 2 TB and larger external drives. This includes GPT partitioned drives and NTFS partitioned drives that exceed 1.8 TB per partition." But it offers the "Workaround solution: Repartition the drive to NTFS and make at least two smaller partitions. These must be smaller than 1.8 TB in size independently."
How do I do this? When I initialize a 3 Tb drive in Windows "Disk Management" with the MBR partition style, it gives me two regions of unallocated space, one of 2 Tb, and the other of the remaining approximately 700 Gb. It allows me to create partitions in the first region, but not in the second. So if I do this, all of the space on the drive beyond 2 Tb is wasted.
So how do I create two MBR partitions that are both smaller than 1.8 Tb but allow the entire disk to be used and encrypted?
Thank you for your help.
