Changed from 2TB internal to WD 4TB Blue Internal

So I was cruising along with my 2TB Internal Hard drive and no problems installed fine. Switched to a 4TB internal WD Blue drive and now it will not install. I installed Linux Mint with no Issue but it keeps saying can not make partition the new Hard drive. I tried gparted and everything yet it will not install…frustrated…a little…lol i want my Endeavour back! Please help.

@42king Welcome
You already tried gparted i see. So Mint is on it now?

Edit: When you try to install does it fail with a message? Or won’t even start the install? Could you post the output.

sudo fdisk -l

It say’s DOS? What is the hardware you are trying to install on? Does it have only Mint on it?

Edit: Can you post the ouput of
sudo fdisk -l

Yes I am running EOS live right now. Mint is on but it can go!

The old internal was 2TB and installed EOS with no issue but this new $TB is giving me fits!

*4TB internal hard drive

In order for anyone to help you then please listen to what we ask. Please post the following.

sudo fdisk -l

Isn’t that an encrypted disk?

It also say’s DOS?

I did not encrypt it.

What is the hardware?

inxi -Fz

It’s really hard to read the wall of text if you don’t format it.

What you need to do is boot on the live ISO. Then start gparted and create a new gpt partition. I will give you instructions if you give me a minute or @pebcak can if he likes.
