Hi guys, I understand that my 3Tb Mybook Essential exceeds a Tb limit. Would someone point me to a ’ nice, friendly, easy to understand’ source that can explain this and related issues such as formatting to NTFS, GPT. Be gentle with me. :slight_smile: Thanks

I don’t know if this will help http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/18/understanding-the-2-tb-limit-in-windows-storage.aspx bacically you need GPT instead of MRB abd NTFS, Vista and about is OK but I think Only XP 64 bit will handle it possible update needed. Joe
