Title: Enabling 3t drives on the GA-X79-UD7 board
Post by: psugrad1999 on May 04, 2012, 11:44:05 pm
I recently purchased a seagate 3t drive for my windows 7 64 bit system.  1 time and 1 time only I was able to get the installer to recognize the full size of the drive.  It showed up at ufie in the device list when selecting the drive.  Unfortunately, I was having other issues and had to re-install.  Now, I can not get the installer to recognize it, it will create a partition, but then leave a large chunk unassigned.  I then have to create a partition after install with seatools. 

Is there a trick for getting the bios to push out the drives full size during window's install?
