Negros and others,

Bought a 3TB HDD (3.5 inch SATA) today, installed and fired up, ran the volume, but it only returns 767gb as the size.

Ideas?

Win 7 64bit.

Which brand HD?

I'm assuming SATA connection?

What size does it show up in BIOS as?

Some motherboards need a bios update to read the larger volumes.

In Windows click start and type Create and format hard disk partitions, find the drive and see if there is any unformatted or unused space allocated to it.

Can also try downloading Gparted and booting off it to inspect the partitions of the drive and if they are currently formatted or unformatted.

As above, you need Intel RST 10.1 or above.

Go to the third link after this link and it explains what causes the problem and how to fix it: Let me google that for you

My freind had this problem and was told he needs to buy a new HDD Updated all his drivers and bam it worked
