And the RST still didn't fix it:
What version is RST? It's under the Help option.

I tried changing the SATA configuration to RAID but when I did, Windows blue screened while loading.
You'll likely need to install the RAID driver before changing to RAID in the BIOS.

I don't think that would matter considering that the BIOS is miss-reading the drive size. I'm inclined to think there may be something wrong with the drive.
I concur.

Am I the only one that noticed in Image 1 above there are 3 Drives plugged in -- P1 SSD, P2 Seagate, P5 WD -- but in the boot options in Image 2 it shows 2 different Seagate HDD's linked to P2?
Different controllers. Note the model number is different (suggests a 500 GB and is a 500 GB).

I don't think that would matter considering that the BIOS is miss-reading the drive size. I'm inclined to think there may be something wrong with the drive.

I don't like recommending this, but if your BIOS lets you, you could try setting the number of sectors, cylinders, and tracks in the BIOS manually if the BIOS is miss-reading that from the drive which might be the most likely explanation I can think of for the odd-size that comes up.

Well, I don't think my BIOS is capable of manually setting those things but i'll look for it. I'll keep trying to make it work somehow lol. I'll probably also try to hook it up in another PC to see if there is, as you said, something wrong with the drive. If it the drive ends up being the problem, do you guys think i could use it normaly. I mean, only the 746Gb. Will it be reliable? I've ran some diagnostics on it using Hard Disk Sentinel and it says the drive is perfect and will not fail anytime soon. I can't send this one back for a replacement.

Am I the only one that noticed in Image 1 above there are 3 Drives plugged in -- P1 SSD, P2 Seagate, P5 WD -- but in the boot options in Image 2 it shows 2 different Seagate HDD's linked to P2?

In image 1 the drives listed are all connected to the Z77 chipset. The other seagate drive is connected to a port that is controlled by ASMedia 1061 controller that for some reason is not shown there. The SATA Tab only show info about the Z77 chipset. In the Boot tab, all drives are listed though.

I took a screenshot of the system report:

I thought the RAID drivers were already included in the RST installation.

Is there any diagnostics tool that can ensure that the drive is malfunctioning? The ones I ran said the drive was fine.

Yeah, Sea Tools: http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/
If it generates a code, the drive is RMA-able with Seagate. At this point, I think that's what is likely to happen.

The only other thing I would try is seeing what happens when it is plugged into another computer. If the symptom follows the drive, RMA it.


Irrelevent now but, meh:
I took a screenshot of the system report:

Very doubtful RST is the problem.

It should but Windows is obviously failing at something so the only way to switch to RAID would be to reinstall Windows. I doubt you want to do that so, pass on that idea. It most likely wouldn't fix it anyway.

I have, multiple. No luck there.

I'll just try the drive in another PC to see what happens but i'm almost giving up. I'll contact Seagate Support service to try an RMA.

Thanks for the help everyone! Really appreciated it. Cheers!

Ooh one last thing: I found on the seagate forums that to resolve this issue i should use Seatools for DOS ( ive been using it for windows) and there should be a setting to choose "Max Native Size". I downloaded the latest version, burnt the image and booted from it. When I got to the program ii said: "No hard drives found. No controllers detected." . What does it mean with controllers? The chipset? Could the chipset be the problem here? Either way i've already issued a RMA for the drive : /

You probably have your SATA settings (BIOS) set to something a native dos program wont recognize. Try and set it to something simple like IDE, then try ACHI, then RAID etc........

I can't believed it... it worked!!! Changed the SATA setting to IDE, the program found all the disk drives. Tthe "Max Native Size" managed to change the disk size to the 2.72TB. When i rebooted, BIOS recognized it as a 2.72TB drive as well. And finally ive just extended the 746gb volume to the full 2.72TB :D
Thanks again everyone!

Huh, IDE should be a downgrade, not an upgrade. I hope everything else is working fine.

Ah, all should be good then. So you fixed it by changing the "Max Native Size" in SeaTools? I don't remember seeing that option and it should have been correct from the factory. This has odd written all over it. If I were you, I'd definitely do a full format to the drive to make sure all sectors are addressable. Once that is done, check the S.M.A.R.T. status on the drive to make sure there's no hardware faults with it. Something had to happen to the drive at some point to make it behave the way it has.

Hi all.
Here is simple way to convert MBR to GPT in in Windows 7 only in 5 steps in Command Prompt !!!

  1. Open a command prompt (Go to Start, Programs, Accessories and then click Run as Administrator on Command Prompt ) and type diskpart.

  2. DISKPART> type list disk. (To see all your conected hard drives)

  3. DISKPART> type select disk. (Choice the number of the disk from the list that you will change like <in my case was "3">)

  4. DISKPART> type clean. (This will delete all partitions or volumes on the this disk).

  5. DISKPART> type convert gpt
THATS IT !!!
Now you have a whole hard disk space at one unallocated part in GPT partition and you can make any new type volume (one ore more)


P.P. - for windows ver:
Windows 95/98, 2000, NT 4 - No
Windows XP 64-bit can use GPT disks for data only.
Windows XP 32-bit will see only the Protective MBR. The EE partition will not be mounted or otherwise exposed to application software.
Windows Vista & Windows 7 (all versions) can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on UEFI-based systems.

I recently purchased a WD 3TB green internal hardrive for backups. Upon booting into windows, the drive only shows 746gb's.

I've already gone into device manager and updated the Nforce Serial ATA and the bios shows 3000. (I assume that is for the 3tb's?)

I am not trying to install windows on the drive, but just use it as another drive for backup needs.
I have tried to go to disk management and format the drive but it will not allow me.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same problem, found an easy fix, make sure your disk is conected via SATA, it doesnt work with usb adapters, boot up a windows instalation disk and go to the "Where do you want to install windows" screen, delete the partitions in your 3 tb disk, if you get an error in one of them dont worry, you just need to clear and merge the other 2, then simply cancel and reboot to windows, it will automatically instal a driver and you will be able to see all your space in windows partition manager and assign it
