Hi All,
I am getting a Toshiba 3TB hard drive to replace a 2TB as my desktop drive is running out of space. However, i do worry that the motherboard will not be able to see a larger capacity drive. After some research, i notice that the new drive (with fresh copy of windows 7 installation) require something called “GPT” which is new to me. Further research show that i will need a board that comes with “UEFI” bios, which i believe i had it. Here are the specifications of my system :
1. Intel G2020
2. Asrock H61M-DGS (Asrock H71M-DGS)
3. 2 x 4 GB Kingston valueram
4. 2TB HDD
5. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
I would like to know if there’s anything in the bios i need to configure and how do i partition the drive into “GPT” format.
TIA
When installing Windows 7, choose Custom and Format and there you will be able to choose GPT and than format to NTFS and then just install.
