QUOTE(Aplind @ May 7 2011, 02:39 PM) This is the fact that your mobo requires UEFI to work.http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/storage/2...3tb-hard-disks/ If you still wish to use 3TB HDD on XP then read this:- http://www.ghacks.net/2010/11/04/how-to-us...-on-windows-xp/ BTW a 3TB HDD is not worth it though. A very good example is the Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB. It costs about RM695 and AFAIK, Caviar Green is a really slow drive. I would rather take 3xSpinpoint F3s and cost less whilst giving much better performance. |
