Need help on mounting a 4TB NTFS GPT drive onto rasbian.

First is output of the sudo fdisk -l
##########################################################
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

It says it does not work with GPT so I tried parted

sudo parted -l
##########################################################
Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!

I was reading about how to fix this issue with gparted official website but it need to use fdisk to solve this outside issue and maybe even need to format my drive. I cant format it at all since it is loaded almost full and I dont have a spare one.

Can someone in this form point me the right direction to mount this drive? My ultimate goal is to make a raspberry nas plex media center using this 4tb 3.5 inches drive. However, I am stuck.

For GPT disks use gdisk which is fdisk for GPT disks.

What do you get from

cat /proc/partitions

From what i'm seeing so-far it looks like linux isn't seeing the size of the drive correctly. I suspect this is an issue related to the USB to SATA converter you are using.
