partitions on drive exceed physical disk drive

The error:

Browsing disks: Partitions on drive '\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1' add up to 5000979808256 B that exceeds the physical disk size of 602934566912 B by 4.000 TB. You should correct this immediately before data loss occurs, by shrinking and growing the final partition.


Solution

 First verify that everything looks good in the disk manager. Open it with Windows + R and pasting in "diskmgmt.msc" or just by searching "disk manager" in Windows 10. It's saying that your logical partition is larger than the physical hard drive, meaning it thinks that it has more storage than it actually has.

For example, on my computer, my C: drive is partitioned with 118.61 GB.
