Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility. Sign in to vote. I have 2 x64 systems running Windows 7. One Ultimate, one Professional. Any ideas on the issue? Wednesday, April 14, PM. Hi, According to my research, there is a 2TB in Windows system. Friday, April 16, AM.
I have no problem reading mine. I have both. It's on. Sometimes that will jar it. Also, make sure you have download drivers from internet enabled. Monday, April 19, PM. Your conclusion is flawed. You can use mbr up to 2TB. I have one this size and it works.
His problem is not that. He cannot get the drive to appear in disk manager. The maximum of a partition depends on the number and size of cluster. In theory, NTFS partition will be much better. However, sometimes, the current allocation unit size may prevent you from extending an existing NTFS partition. At this case, you can change cluster size of it. This software can also help. Step 1. Then, click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk. Step 2. After that, the software will show you the final effect, so you can further determine whether you want to perform this operation.
If you want to, please click Apply to continue. Step 3. In the Disk Management window, examine the disk status rows at the bottom. In the following example, the user has a 3-TB disk that was previously initialized by using the MBR partitioning scheme. That device is labeled here as Disk 1. Disk 1 contains two separate unallocated sections. This separation indicates that the first 2 TB of the disk space can be used. However, the remaining space is non-addressable because of the bit addressing space limitation of the MBR partitioning scheme.
To enable the system to fully address the total capacity of the storage device, you must convert the disk to use the GPT partitioning scheme. Right-click the label on the left for the disk that you want to convert, and then click Convert to GPT Disk.
Now that the disk is initialized to access the full storage capacity, you must create a partition, and then format that partition by using a file system.
Because the transition to a single-disk capacity of greater than 2 TB has occurred fairly recently, Microsoft has investigated how Windows supports these large disks. The results reveal several issues that apply to all versions of Windows earlier than and including Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 and Windows Server R2 with Service Pack 1.
To this point, the following incorrect behavior is known to occur when Windows handles single-disk storage capacity of greater than 2 TB:. The numeric capacity beyond 2 TB overflows. It results in the system being able to address only the capacity beyond 2 TB.
For example, on a 3-TB disk, the available capacity may be only 1 TB. The numeric capacity beyond 2 TB is truncated. It results in no more than 2 TB of addressable space. For example, on a 3-TB disk, the available capacity may be only 2 TB. The storage device isn't detected correctly. In this case, it isn't displayed in either the Device Manager or Disk Management windows.
Many storage controller manufacturers offer updated drivers that provide support for storage capacities of more than 2 TB. Contact your storage controller manufacturer or OEM to determine what downloadable support is available for single-disk capacities that are greater than 2 TB. When a disk encounters errors that are related to unreadable or unwritable sectors, it reports those errors and the relevant SCSI sense data to the operating system. Therefore, the retrieved SCSI sense data either does not contain information about bad sectors or it contains incorrect information about bad sectors.
Administrators should note this limitation when they look for bad sector LBA information that's recorded in the Windows event log. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info. Contents Exit focus mode.
