I recently purchased a 4TB hard drive. This is my first time working with disks larger than 1TB.
From what I discovered through googling, I found that I have to initialize the disc using GUID Partition Table (GPT), instead of MBR. I did that when I first plugging the drive in.
The problem is that Windows 7 only sees about 1.5TB on it. I thought it might show me more once formatted, but it did not. So I deleted the volume hoping that would reveal more options in the disk management tool, but it did not. Here's what I'm left with:
How can I get Windows 7 to recognize all 4TB of the drive?
I can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether it could be my motherboard that is having trouble with this. Also, I'm actually using a board I took from an old external usb drive to connect the drive to the computer. So if these boards can be limited, I suppose it could possibly be the reason. How would I be able to tell?
