I just bought a = new "2TB" Western Digital hard drive. Imagine my
surprise when fdisk reports it is only 10MiB in capacity! Is there
anything I can do to rectify this (of a technical nature)? I live in
Bangkok so it is not unlikely the guy in the little shop where I bought
it sold me a load of junk. But the device is in warranty until 2022
and looks convincing (I checked the serial number on the WD web
site). Of course I can go to the WD service centre and get the HD
exchanged but I thought I would see if there were any technical
wheezes first.=C2=A0 =C2=A0

Thanks
