I have a new hard drive which I can't seem to access correctly. It is a 2TB lacie drive and when I connect it I only see ~400MB. This is the output from fdisk:
What is wrong and how can I proceed?

Have you formatted it yet? It's showing as FDisk rather than GUID, so I'm guessing not. – Tetsujin Jul 26 '18 at 08:57

I have formatted it, hence the Apple HFS section. Why it doesn't see the rest of the disk when I want to erase I have no idea – chris Jul 26 '18 at 09:03

Reformat it - as GUID not MBR. It looks like you just partitioned it, not formatted. idk why it doesn't see it, but that would be the first thing to try. – Tetsujin Jul 26 '18 at 09:08

It turns out Disk Utility wasn't showing all devices, only volumes. I changed that option in the menu and was able to actually format the 2TB drive.
