Windows detects 3 TB HDD as being the only 746,52 GB of capacity

Hello. I have an Alienware Aurora under Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 desktop. I just installed a 3 TB HGST sister 7 K 3000 SATA internal hard drive, I want to use for the data, not as a system disk or boot.

I initialized the disk as a disk GPT and Windows Explorer, Windows and EaseUS Partition Master Professional Disk Manager can see, but they all see him as having only 746,52 GB of capacity.  I can create a partition of this size, if I want to, but I want to fill 3 TB (or 2.7 or anything really).

I installed the latest drivers for my SATA controller and the Intel chipset, and I installed the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and software. The Intel Software see the full capacity of 3 TB in my new HARD drive, but it doesn't let me do anything to make this capability available for Windows.

The Dell support page continues to tell me I need to install the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility, v.9.1.1.1019, A01 (pilot), even if I installed it three or four times already and successfully, as far as I can tell.  (In other words, technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology is installed and seems to be working, as I said already - although I should mention also that the only thing it offers you to let me do is to turn the LED on HARD drive port.  Is he supposed to do, if I don't have a RAID configuration?)

I'll be grateful for any help.

Sincerely,

This should work for you: Intel IRST worm 11.6.0.1030.  F6flpy files are the drivers to preload for use during a Windows installation.  Two files include pilots and the IRST so Control Panel.  It shouldn't matter that you use; the only difference is that the first is English only as far as I know.  If the installer does not see what he needs on your computer, it will simply refuse to install.

    and personally I don't like Vista... and just discovered another reason why? So, since I'm NOT under the "Vista" operating system anymore and am running Windows 7, I would like to program Windows Defender removed.

    With two versions of Windows, AVG will shut down Defender and the only
    advantage of the deletion, it would be to save a small Mount of disk space.
    And as a part of Windows, you cannot delete it.

  • No product key for Windows 7 Ultimate on laptop second hand. Windows 8 not compatible. What are the options?

    A friend of mine bought a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate laptop second hand on it and it has not been activated, and it is not a product key (even the old one is worn and unreadable). It was originally a XP system and it cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 because it is not compatible. Is it possible that he could buy a product key so that it is activated and genuine? I don't want him to enter in some affliction, and I feel partly responsible because I was the one who told him to do and was not with him to look over the first! I feel really bad, because it doesn't have a lot of money and I should have been there when it was sold. I have a Windows 7 professional full version box, but I really need for my own system. Are there any alternatives? Please give me some GOOD news because I feel really rotten over this. ) :

    Thank you

    BAT

    The only alternative would be to buy a license Windows 7 Ultimate full version or a version complete edition cheaper such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and make a custom installation:

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

    Apart from that, the only other option would be to contact the computer manufacturer for a Windows XP Recovery disk. Which I doubt they still provide.

  • Windows XP does not detect any internet at all despite the computer with the modem to work.

    I recently installed Windows XP Professional on my new iMac via bootcamp.  While Windows itself works fine, it won't connect to internet at all.  Despite being connected to a modem ADSL via a Ethernet cable, and also have wireless internet, Windows does not detect any signal.  On the internet in the Control Panel, all connections page that appears is "1394 connection" under the heading "LAN or Internet high speed."  I tried several times to put in place a new internet connection through the Setup Wizard and everytime, no internet is detected.

    I know that the modem works because all the other computers in my house are fine online, including on the side of Mac of the iMac.  If anyone has an idea as to how I should resolve this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Daniel

    Moreover, these are things I've already tried:

    I've tried to manually and automatically set up an internet connection
    I spoke with my ISP, the modem works fine
    I have re-partitioned the hard drive and reinstalled XP

    The "1394 connection" is the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) from your computer.  There should be cable system and under the heading wireless connections "LAN or Internet high speed."   There is no need to run the Network Setup Wizard or set up a new connection.

    Open the Device Manager (Start > run > devmgmt.msc ) and go to the network adapters section.  You may need to install the drivers for them.

    Original title: Windows Media Center has suddenly stopped being able to see tuners.

    I am running Windows Media Center and have a 6 Ceton infinitv tuner connected to my network.  Since a few weeks things have worked very well.  Now suddenly after installing a faster wifi adapter, I get messages such as unable to find tuner or all tuners are busy... who don't feel like I can always go to the tuner by Explorer or chrome, by typing the address of it and it arises but also shows that it is set on the channels that I am no longer watching.  Any ideas on why WMC is suddenly acting when the only thing I did was install an a6200 netgear adapter, nothing has changed.

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

    It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.

  • Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Description of the problem:

    Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Steps to recreate:

    UEFI:

    1. Start the PC in diagnosis system UEFI (F2 at the STATION)
    2. Pane controls
    3. Optical drive
    4. Sequential control
    5. Error: Optical drive not installed.

    8.1 Windows (x 64):

    1. Run Device Manager
    2. Error: No CD/DVD Drives section.
    3. Search for new hardware changes nothing.

    Relevant system specs:

    Mobile: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (construction of vanilla)

    Optical drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n

    Steps already taken to solve:

    • Replaced the DVD drive with one of the similar specs of HP Pavilion. The replaced gn70n perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD player works, and there is no problems with Windows 8.1 (x 64).
    • Removed DVD player. Restarted the computer. Sign in to Windows. Stop. Replace the DVD drive. Start the laptop. This is trying to solve defects of material with the PnP devices; more help to solve any problems of intermittent loose connection. Conclusion: No change.
    • Ran, troubleshooting of hardware and devices, via the control panel. Problem found: material changes may not have been detected. Explore more options just takes you through http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, that it is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Help and Support Windows is sorely lacking. They show no more information than just that something was detected as incorrect.
    • Ran the Microsoft FixIt troubleshooting of optical disc and auto repairman. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The convenience store has reported that the device was not found. He recommended to remove all power cables, power off, and various other things which have no relevance for computer laptop troubleshooting of switching equipment. He said: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows troubleshooting can not solve the problem.
    • Run Windows Update to ensure that all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is perfectly up to date.
    • Run a complete Rootkit and malware using Sbybot S & D 2.3 heuristic analysis. as a signature database scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.

    Notes:

    The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

    The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

    There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

    The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

    The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3: Windows XP Home edition do not recognize the modem and sound card

    Hi all!

    I can't understand what is the problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAE3)... I downloaded all the files on the right of the Toshiba Download Center, updated the BIOS to WXP but XP still not find any sound card or any modem. He isn't finding a device with a "?" question mark on this...

    There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
    Anyone has any advice?

    Thanks in advance,

    ciroopi

    Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

    so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

    as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
    as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

    I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

    1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
    [...]
    DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
    Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
    [...]

    11 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment V1.6.0
    12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
    13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

    Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
    You may have read in the installation dialog box.

    Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

    at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

    14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

    for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

    then restart.

    for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

    Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
    It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

    Reset.

    After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

    .. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
    If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

    After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
    In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

    So, hope this helps!

    See you soon,.
