Trying to install 6tb Toshiba Drive in M3N78 Pro system
Have upgraded to Win7 64bit
Only see 6tb as 1.5tb when plugged into SATA
BIOS set to AHCI
Shows full 6TB when in USB dock even on usb 2 (I have a pcie USB 3 card installed too)
Only need for data storage not boot drive
Any simple solution or could I install a SATA controller card
 
You need a GUID partition table (GPT) format and HDD drivers that support ≥2.2TB drives.
The motherboard looks like a 2009 model with NVIDIA GeForce 8300 chipset. I don't know if HDD drivers that support ≥2.2TB drives needed for that chipset were ever made.
