Hi juan2013, ;)
Welcome to forum,
About a large hard disk or SSD....
The situation are complexe. What is your OS?
Like Windows Seven Ultimate 64 bits with Service Pack 1.... So describe, please....
Normaly the Bios recognize a Hard Drive formated with partition less 2.2To.
So you have a possibility to make a partitions less 2.2 To.
Or formated a large Hard Drive like more 2.2To ... With a GPT mode for format.

Hello Gloup_Gloup :)
Thank you!!
Actuality I use Windows Vista 64 Bit with Service Pack 2
The Bios version is F4
When I mounted the actual Hard Drives of 1 TB I did a format using the Windows Vista disc, single partition and everything works fine.
I think mount the Hard Drive of 3 TB and give it format with Windows Vista disc with a single partition.
That will work?
Thanks

Hi juan2013, ;)
I think for your situation about Hard Drive of 3 TB...
You have a obligation to make a partition...
One 2To and other 1To or
2 x 1.5To by exemple....
So no partition more higher 2.1To
