I recently, without thinking, and the sales person said it would work, have been trying to backup to a 3TB EXTERNAL hard drive. But then you still have to build and format your raid-setup first, with just an initial overwrite/throw-away-installation. This will give you the option to write the image from your single-disk back to your double-disk, but without the drivers, so no blue screen, I guess. Now I would advise you Acronis True Image, with Plus Pack. This was quite tricky and experimental, but it worked, although I can’t remember clearly if I stayed on the chipset-controller or moved to the 2nd, dedicated other-brand controller. I once fiddled something on an older asus board first installed the other driver, made an image and after setting the raid-option in bios, wrote back that image on the raid-set.

Probably you have to add the other driver with F6 key during installation. I think you may have better luck disconnecting your old disk first, then set your bios to raid to start a new installation.

I guess when you want to set your bios to raid to create a 1 and get a blue screen, your already existing installation (on the same chipset or controller?) probably can’t handle the sudden change, because it misses the appropriate and different driver that is needed.

It seems windows would post a site to let you know how to do this, instead of being so difficult and a secret!!! Maybe I am doing something wrong? Its a lacie 3tb external drive.Īwaiting to hear from you and thanks for the input I have been waiting for a response on this topic for a little while now. Although I hooked it up to my laptop with win 10 and got the same result? If that doesn’t work I am selling it and getting a different one. If this paragon doesn’t work then I will try the copying app.

I was going to buy ghosting (copying) software to do this…would that work also? So the Paragon GPT loader works then? Is it free download or purchase? I noticed someone else asked that question. I also though if the usb cord that came with it is only usb 3, but it states it would wok with usb 2. HI Paul, I had the same issue Bought my 3TB drive Nov 2014 and tried to backup my files to it and no go, I tried over and over, renaming, repartitioning, but it still only has so much space, and not enough for what I have!! Like you said, if I would have known this, and I asked the people who sell it which said oh ya it will work, I would have also bought a 2TB.

With this in place, Windows XP users can utilize the full storage of 3TB hard drives. They basically create a specially signed driver to make Windows XP compatible with the GPT partitioning scheme. The problem however is that GPT is not supported by Windows XP. That's roughly one third of space that cannot be used.Īn alternative is an advanced partitioning scheme like GUID Partition Table (GPT) which can support 3TB volumes. Why? Because the operating system cannot address disk space beyond the 2 Terabyte limit. Windows XP users will however notice that they cannot use all of the space of the hard drive. These high capacity hard drives will work fine for users running Windows Vista, Windows 7 or a Windows Server 2008 operating system. All hard drive manufacturers have announced the first wave of 3TB (that's 3 Terabytes) hard drives in the first half of 2010, and first 3TB hard drives like the Western Digital Caviar Green WD30EZRSDTL 3TB are now available.
