Desperetly Need HELP : My new 3 TB WD Shows as only 2 TB in Disk Mgmt
Hi,
( I have spent 2 days for finding a solution but no help )
I just bought the new Western Digital 3.0 Internal HDD & when I plugged in as a slave drive it shows only 2 TB in Device Manager.
It is also asking me to initialize the drive as either MBR OR GPT. I have not done so because I am afraid I might screw something Up.
My system is Dell T-7500 Workstation with Windows -7 ( 64 bit ) & I booted it from my 500 GB HDD & kept the 3 TB HDD as a slave drive.
I want to use this drive mainly for storage & not as a boot drive so single 3 TB Partition would be fine.
I also updated my Bios to Latest A13 version from Dell Site.
I also came across a very simple solution of downloading Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver as in following link but I don't know if I need that because I don't have Raid & this is just a desktop.
I also tried finding that Intel RST V.10.1 or higher on Intel site & google but haven't found it ) So if I need it, please post a link for downloading it.
