I have a old HP xw8600 workstation, I recently installed a WD NAS 3TB harddisk as a secondary hard disk. I preformated the drive with GBT in NTFS format with another computer.
I have update to the latest BIOS, running at separate IDE SATA mode. BIOS only sees drive as 801GB, but in Win7 it shows up in 3TB. I heard that I need to run AHCI mode to get 3TB. I tried RAID with AHCI setting in BIOS but it won't even see my hard drives.
Although it can read and write to the disk fine in win7, but will this create any issues down the line when the BIOS doesn't see my drive to its full capacity?
Thanks.
