I'm not surprised that PM5 can not handle a drive of this size. Even the
current version of PM has some issues with NTFS resizing according to the
internet. dfsee v8.x can do resize NTFS partition in some cases. How
much depends on the partition content since dfsee current can not relocate
sectors within the partition.

That's OK. Beliefs are a personal thing.

It may be the 4GB free space. The current versions of dfsee report the
partitions better.

It is not always clear whether the units are GiB or GB.
