Yes you heard right, I am trying to install a 3TB drive on a Pentium 4 / Windows XP SP2 !
I have bought an internal 3TB SATA HDD which is installed on SATA 0 on my Pentium 4 Motherboard (Intel D865PERL) but the OS is running on SATA 1. I need to use a Pentium 4 as I am doing some analogue video capturing with an AGP graphics card. I am running Windows XP x32-bit and downloaded the latest ATA controllers as well as Intel INF software (bearing in mind this is now way out of support) but the BIOS only shows the drive as having 801.6Gb capacity and Windows Disk Management only shows the drive as 746.5Gb capacity with no additional formatting options or unformatted areas.
Please can you help me to expand to at least 2TB (as I understand Windows XP supports 2TB) ? I have done endless searches on Google and has directed me to a few threads on this site which have 746Gb fixes for this issue but the fixes are dependent on Intel Rapid Storage Technology software which is not compatible with Windows XP Professional.
Sorry if I have missed anything but I am willing to try anything to get this working...
Thanks in advance for your advice
