Can only partition and format 1TB of my 2TB Caviar Green in XP SP3

Hello,

I Can only partition and format 1TB of my 2TB Caviar Green in 32 bit XP SP3. Do I need the align sofware to fix this? If so, how do I get it to download? The link isn’t working properly.

Your motherboard might have a limitation, check if you have any BIOS updates, also check if the remaining 1TB is available to format on the disk management window.

If you have the WD20EARS 2 TB Green HD, then put a jumper on pins 7-8 and do a quick format with a single partition. If that doesn’t work, then make 2 1 TB partitions. That should work for you.
