[wanneslier]

Hereafter the details of my computer. Will it support WD Red 6TB or higher? It does support 3TB as I have one in it.
But cannot find out if it supports a bigger one ...

AMD 770+SB710 Chipset motherboards can use that as a non-boot drive.
1) latest SATA driver needed
2) GPT format the drive. GPT is the abbreviation of GUID Partition Table.

Boot drive over 2TB requires UEFI Bios which you don't have.

MBR format
MBR partition entries and the MBR boot code used in commercial operating systems, however, are limited to 32 bits. Therefore, the maximum disk size supported on disks using 512-byte sectors (whether real or emulated) by the MBR partitioning scheme (without using non-standard methods) is limited to 2 TB.

Unpack - OK - Extract - OK - but then: CANCEL installer when it pops-up. I don't understand.
What do I do after the Unpacking?

 

[Calvin7]

Look thru the folders you unpacked till you find the SATA driver. You can update the present driver thru the device manager.
