4 TB HARD drive in windows 7 with Aspire M1641?

I installed Windows 7 on my Aspire M1641 and want to use a 4 TB HARD drive.
How to handle that? I put it as a GPT disk, but it recognizes the disc as GB 1678.

It uses NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / nForce 620i and it will be very difficult to find new drivers, since it is a very old chipset and not well supported NVIDIA.

for windows 7 x 64, this is the last available:

Unfortunately, this does not work, but finally I found the driver for the SATA controller and then everything worked. It is: NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller 10.6.0.319 who finally did the job.

Thanks everyone for trying to help!

  • I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

    I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

    original title: Moving the death machine drive

    Hello CarrolScott,

    The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

    The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

  • I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now".

    I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now". The code on the computer case was partly carried away and I do not have a record of it. The software has been activated once already. Suggestions, please.

    original title: hard drive swap.

    Use a magnifying glass and a strong light and see if you can retrieve the key.  It is not registered anywhere except on the label.  They are applied at the factory in batches, and there is no record that the key is affixed to a specific computer.  Recover what you can and then try to activate by phone.

    To activate Windows Vista by phone, follow these steps: click Start, and then click computer.  Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.  The Windows of Activation Wizard starts.  Click use the telephone system automated in the Windows Wizard of Activation.

  • Windows 7 and bios sees not the hard drive, but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files

    Please, I need pc

    Original title: windows 7 and bios does not see the hard drive. but when I connect the hard drive to the USB with an adapter, I see directories and files... Ive a hp Pavilion, what to do?

    Check the BIOS for hard drive setting.

    Make sure that you do not connect the drive to a SATA/RAID port.

    Old IDE drives - check the jumper on the drive (use "Cable Select" as a starting point), the BIOS must also be set in legacy/compatibility/IDE mode. Note: If you currently use the AHCI mode, then switch to IDE mode may cause Windows to boot.

  • FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

    How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

    Hi MVRMVR,

    Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

    I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

  • Hard drive WD3200BEKT is replaceable with newer model, the WD3200BEKX?

    I have a HP G62-231NR notebook model and I need to replace the hard drive. The hard drive, he came up with what is WD3200BEKT-60V5T1.  I found this on Amazon at this link that looks like, simply:

    http://www.Amazon.com/black-320-mobile-hard-drive/DP/B001CO3EKQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics & ie = UTF8 & qid...

    I have also seen that there is a "newer model of this point", which is called the WD3200KEBX.  I found this on Amazon here:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Western-Digital-Black-notebook-WD3200BEKX/DP/B00DSUTVYK/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

    I wonder if the KEBX is compatible with the KEBT and even if yes, what is the difference?  It would be advisable to go with the newer model, the KEBX?

    (Pricing is $2, so this isn't a factor)

    Thanks for your help!

    Either one will work. The only difference is one is a retail disc and it is a package in bulk... sold to system integrators and other systems. Same basic material. For the same price, you could actually find a 500 gig.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145587

    It's a record (7mm) thin, but has twice the cache (32 vs 16 megs megs) would be a little faster. It will work. You don't need to replace the exact drive. All 2.5 inches wide 7 or 9.5 mm SATA HDD works. You could even install a hybrid propulsion system or the solid state drive.
