GParted detects 3 partitions instead of 1?
So, I want to use my 2nd HDD for Arch Linux and as storage for my Windows 10 installation. My 2nd HDD only has 1 partition on it (as seen by Windows 10's disk management utility) and that's where all my files are. I wanted to use GParted to chop off the beginning and use it for Linux, but upon booting up my live USB, this is what I saw:
Soo, it looks like I have a tiny partition with the label that Windows uses for the only partition, and then a normal one, an unknown one, and 1MiB of unallocated space?
Also, I can't seem to resize these, since there are the yellow triangles (unable to read the contents of this file system)...
My 1st HDD (okay, it's an SSD but it doesn't matter rn.) seems to work ok here tho..
I tried to use the terminal to find out what's happening and well... have a look!
user@debian:/$ cd mnt/
user@debian:/mnt$ ls /dev/sdb*
/dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
user@debian:/mnt$ sudo mkdir sdb1
user@debian:/mnt$ sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1/
user@debian:/mnt$ cd sdb1/
And suprisingly, sdb1 had all the files from the partition Windows 10 sees (1tb), and there were no sdb2, or sdb3 in /dev...
Can someone help me fix it and finally resize my partition?
(I tried: chkdsk /f (on the right drive,ofc.), but no luck)

Fixed it!
Turns out the disk was "Dynamic" as Windows said, but after converting it back to basic, it works perfectly now!
