Using 3TB Caviar Green Disk (WD30XXX)

Hi,

First of all, i’ve searched for this i suppose normal question, but wasn’t lucky.

I’m the happy new user of a caviar green 3TB hard disk, it’s impressive the low noise and heat emitted from the unit. I have assembled it in a new barebone, Shuttle SH67H3. In BIOS, sata it’s set to AHCI mode (i can choose between IDE, AHCI and RAID).

My problem, is that windows 7 installer, or windows 7 itself, once installed (windows ultimate 64 bits), don´t let me creating a partition for the entire disk capacity, it´s limited to 2,19TB. So, now i have a 735GB not used space in the disk that i can’t use for a new partition, or for merging it with the existing one.

Is there any special driver to load, or disk utility or something for this problem?

Thanks !!
