Acer Aspire x3200 with 3TB drive?

[vijaysub]

I just added a 3TB drive to my aspire 3200. It only sees it as a 2TB drive when I run it internal or with esata but when I use it as a USB drive it sees it as a full 3TB (in a hitachi USB enclosure)

Not sure if this is a BIOS issue

My current bios is the Award Workstation Bios (Phoenix) R01.B0 (link below)
Any assistance would be appreciated.


Thanks

Hi vijaysub,

Have you ensured it is properly formatted as a GTP partition table and not MBR (as MBR would only detect 2.13TB )
