Cloning a hard drive - UEFI doing my head in!

[Darth Windu]

Hi guys. I've recently purchased a 4TB Seagate 7200rpm drive to replace a WD 160GB as my primary system drive, and am attempting to use Seagates "DiscWizard" to clone the drive. Unfortunately I'm running into two problems.

1. The thing keeps telling me to convert the drive to GPT instead of MBR, except that I've already done that.

2. Most importantly, it keeps telling me that I need to use UEFI as the new drive is over 2TB. I've gone through the boot options etc but cannot for the life of me figure out how I'm supposed to do this, and it's giving me a huge headache.

If anyone could help me out at all I'd really appreciate it.

My motherbaord for reference is a Gigabyte M61-PM-S2

Your system doesn't have UEFI that I could tell from reading over the specs, and you will not be able to boot to that drive and use it's full capacity.

Assuming the 160GB drive is still usable, you may want to leave it in place and use the 4TB drive as extra storage, but not for booting from.

Yeah that's what I thought might be the problem. Unfortunately my 160GB is full, only about 5GB of free space, even with all of my games installed on a 1.5TB separate drive.
