I have just bought a Poweredge T110 server, running Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation 64-bit. I am trying to add a 3 Terabyte Hitachi Deskstar disk (H3D30006472S) as a data disk (not a boot disk). The disk is connected to the built-in SATA controller.
I have configured the disk with a GPT partitiion, but Windows "Disk Management" reports it only has a capacity of 746GB.
If it's relevant, the boot disk has been supplied with MBR partitions, I think the BIOS has to stay in "BIOS" mode.
I was hoping that a brand-new server running the latest 64-bit OS would support 3TB data disks out-of-the-box, please could someone advise what I need to do?
Thanks.
