Hi
I have a gigabyte EX58-UD4P motherboard for the Intel i7 on my Win 7 64 bit PS, and I am trying to connect an eSata drive to it which is bigger than 2TB.
When I boot up, the BIOS finds the external hard drive correctly, but the next part in booting comes up with a 0.0GB for that drive. From that point on the operating system does not find the drive at all.
I did experiments with different size external eSata drives and found that 2TB worked correctly, but anything larger (eg, 4TB and 8TB), came up as 0.0GB during boot and would not work.
Any ideas?
The BIOS version of the motherboard is F8.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
