Hello, I've just installed a Samsung 2TB HDD into my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit system. Under Disk Management the system shows the 2TB drive with 1.82TB of available space. However, after formatting I can only use 68% of this ie 1.28TB ????

Yes its formatted NTFS. I'll try newer MOBO drivers but BIOS is seeing the drive as 2TB and Windows 7 ia also seeing it as 2TB. Its just that the useable size is only 1.26TB ??
