I just bought a WD Caviar Green 3 TB and im trying to install Windows 7 64 bits on it. My computer recognizes the HD since its brand new, i was able to partition it for the whole capacity by GPT, but when i try to install windows it says it cant be installed on GPT partitioned HD, if i change to MBR it only recognizes 2 TB.
So how can i install Windows on a GPT partioned HD?
Hi as you did not post your specs. Does your motherboard support UEFI = Unified Extensible Firmware Interface or does it have the older style bios. Most southbridge boards support UEFI. If it recognises 2.19 TB thats the problem heres a link that will explain it. http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/WhitePapers/ENG/2579-771501.pdf
Were you able to find out whether your motherboard supports uefi?
