limit of 746 GB partition on 3 TB drive installed in CQ5600F

I installed a red sata 3 TB WD drive in my CQ5600f and motherboard sees the drive, the WD diagnostics sees the drive but Windows 7 volume, partition and format all see gb 746. I'm learning the bios needs update but I am unable to find one on the HP site. Can anyone help.

Hello

Were you going to WD I suggested?

As your first post indicates that the SATA hard drive is 'in' to your PC then you indicate that the hard drive is plugged into a motherboard SATA port and not a USB port.

Open the window RUN and enter:

DiskPart

list disk

Select disk x---> where is the number of your new hard drive

clean

output

Now go to computer Management then disk management.  Now, you will be prompted to format the drive hard drive chose TPG. After that, although management records chose create the simple volume, NTFS format and then assign a drive letter.

There is an external change you need for an update of the nForce driver.  Try this site for an update of the driver.  In addition, your PC must have all the latest updates of Windows and service packs.

Frankly, I do not recommend the use of a hard drive 3 TB on older PCs.

  • LabVIEW RT 8.5 puts a limit on the FAT32 partition / hard disk size?


    Hi Reevem,

    I did some research on this problem and I believe that 8.5 real-time will not have a problem with larger hard drives. However, you will need to use a 3rd party utlity like our time format disc formatter and Microsoft, will limit the size of partition of 32 GB.

    It is also mentioned here that the real-time does not work with a hard drive that is larger than 128 GB. So, I would recommend a smaller drive to 128 GB.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you very much

  • Error: "could not create a new partition or locate a" when installing Windows via Boot Camp 10

    This error occurs on my 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have 2 hard drives. One dedicated to OSX and one for Windows. This is my first install bootcamp. I let bootcamp create partitions, but to the partition/disk screen hard to choose, I get a message saying: "we could not create a new partition or locate a.. The partition has been formatted to NTFS. I tried later in this guide community post here: error: "we could not create a new partition or locate and existing" install Windows via Bootcamp 8.1, but no luck. I even tried to delete the partitions and create a partition empty for windows so it can create and format on its own and start using EFI. At this point, windows begins to install it and restart, but it fails during the part material recording and restarts. Then when it starts again I get a message that the installation has failed.

    Here's some output terminal which can help you to (I) hope.

    You must disconnect the internal bus 500 GB SATA drive and use a flashdrive USB2 for OS X from startup. The 320 GB designated drive must be in the main Bay of the Mac. Once Windows is installed, reconnect your 500 GB drive in the Optibay (if you this road main Bay) will be Windows blue screen in most cases.

  • L750-114 satellite see 746 MB only 3 GB HARD drive

    I have a laptop Satellite L750-114 and I bought an external hard drive of 3 GB.

    The problem is that Windows see only 746MB and I can´t the complete hard disk format.

    What can I do?

    Thank you.

    You must format the HARD drive before installing the system.
    The best way to format the HARD drive would be the use of external USB-SATA-controller (attachment). Connect it to computer 2 and format the HARD drive by using the NTFS file format.

    You can also start Notepad using the key of Gparted Live USB
    http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

    Then you should be able to format the HARD disk and to create single partitions on this HARD drive.

  • Tecra A8-104: how to create a second partition on the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I had to use the recovery disk, and I deleted by mistake my (two) initials of the partitions on the HARD drive. : ((now, I have only one.

    Can someone tell me how I can fix this?
    I want 2 partitions, not one. x 10

    The Toshiba Recovery CD could create two partitions.
    The installer will ask where or how install the OS on the HARD drive.

    For example, the HARD disk supports 100GB. So you can choose the first 60 GB for installing the OS and the difference (40 GB) could be activated after the installation of the OS.

    This can be done in the management of the computer-> disk management.

  • Satellite A100-192: what I lose warranty if I create a partition on the HARD drive

    Hello everyone,

    I want to format my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100-192) and 2 partitions. I've been using EMP cd + recovery CD, it's very simple, but I don't want to install all the programs of Toshiba. I want to install a Windows 'fresh '.

    I read all the messages on Toshiba Express media CD + recovery CD and xxxx on the HARD drive. I'm a bit confused. Many of you said: 'use only EMP recovery cd + CD' or ' do not xxxx 2 or more on your HARD drive - you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    I have another CD with Windows XP Pro OEM. It is best to create partitions, install from that cd and after that to install the drivers from TOOLSCD?

    Of course, I don't want to lose my warranty, please tell me how it is better to do!

    Sincerely yours.
    Daniel

    Hello

    > Many of you said: 'use only EMP CD + recovery CD' or '' do not 2 or more partitions on your HARD drive.
    ' > you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    Someone told you a big story :)

    It turns out; you do not lose the warranty after you create partitions on your HARD drive!
    Only if you open the laptop and will try to fix something by yourself, you will lose your warranty.

    Of course, you can use your fresh and original Windows operating system. After the installation of the operating system, you can install the drivers from the CD tools Toshiba or you're going to download it from the page of Toshiba.

  • Equium L350 - 11 d - how do I delete the second partition on the HARD drive

    How can I delete the second partition that came with the laptop, so I can use the full capacity of computers HARD drive?

    I feel that this partition is their because I have not created a DVD of recovery he would remove the partition once I created the recovery DVDs.

    The score contains a folder of HARD disk RECOVERY and in the folder says do not delete or change this folder or files.

    I have a Toshiba Equium L350 - 11 d

    As you have already said that the second partition contains the HDD Recovery folder if you would remove this partition you will not be able to create the recovery DVD and would not be able to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    Therefore, you must create the DVD before recovery would remove anything from the second partition on the HARD drive.

    After you create the DVD recovery successfully, you could remove the partition and could add the free space on the HARD disk on the first partition.
    This can be done on disk management!

    This is a useful page for Microsoft:

    Hello

    If you want to create a second partition on the HARD drive I would really recommended using a 3rd party utility magically 8 partitions
    This tool is amazing. You can create and manage partitions on the HARD disk while Windows is running.

    But you can also create a partition by using the recovery CD.
    In this case, you will need to boot from the CD recovery and under the installer or expert mode.
    Simply type the first partition size and the restore CD will create a 1 partition on the HARD disk.
    After installing the OS, go to disk management, and then you bring up the second partition.

    PS: Using the recovery CD will erase the whole HARD drive! That's why I prefer the use of the PM8

    Received my free copy of windows 7 home Premium

    Wanted a clean install (not an upgrade)

    Back up all the data and the programs that I installed

    During the installation of win 7, I deleted the recovery of the system partition and the 2nd partition of my HARD disk (has been labeled d, came that sort of lenovo factory, had 70 GB size I think)

    I thought that if I deleted the partition of the hard drive space would be added to the 1st partition and it did not

    Have materialized with the installation of win 7, and now I just have never found my C: and the GBs of the 2nd old partition so its as if I lowered my total HARD disk size

    How can I get my C: to have all of the 320 GB? Thanks for any advice!

    You can allocate the unused disk space as follows.

    Start > run > diskmgmt.msc

    Right-click on the Windows partition [should be C] and click on "expand". Extend partition as needed and enjoy.

    I hope I am posting this on the forum,

    I want to delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

    I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.

    Hello

    D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

    Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

    They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

    You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

    We cannot see how your hard disk is configured

    We can only give you general information on this subject

    read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:

    Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.

    Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.

    etc.

    1. with respect to the first question: your system files have been corrupted. Do a System Restore before the app was used.

    Try you "tune up", "maximize", "registry cleaners" or any what kind of app that promises to improve the performance of your PC somehow. None of them improve anything, often at the antipodes (as you discovered). Microsoft W7 already has all the apps. you need to keep your PC in tip-top condt. Try not to add anything.

    All these various named apps. are all 'snake oil' and very dangerous to use. However, you will find a lot of 'logic' online promo. material from "authoritarian" sites as to how will be beneficial for your PC. Not drawn in by these Advertorials :)

    2 the hidden partition is probably "restore to factory condt." partition rescue/recovery of the manufacturer of your computer. This can be used for the rescue of PC when things diabolically wrong with your operating system and cannot be set by any other means. You need an ISO image (clone) of the OS partition and MBR (master boot record) only, not the entire HARD drive.  Including the partition of relief are a very good idea but I'm not familiar with the software cloning you use.
