Windows 10: Windows 10 only sees 746gb on 3tb drive

Thank you for all your help. Last resort is double boot into linux but i would rather use windows. =)

 

Thanks

HP support: HP Pavilion p6320y Desktop PC

If you look at the drivers for Win7 (Win10 doesn't help - just directs you to MS), you'll see that your drivers are baseline drivers. I'm not suggesting that you get any drivers from HP, just wanted to anchor the support page in your thread.

I'm fairly confident that the drivers from Nvidia in post# 12 will improve your machine. I'm not sure that they'll solve the issue.

There's still the issue with the 2TB limit on MBR disks. If there's no data on the DATA drives, I suggest converting the DATA drives to GPT
see: Change a Master Boot Record Disk into a GUID Partition Table Disk (ignore the Win7 reference - works in Win10 too)

If your machine sees the whole drive, then it was a 2TB limit issue.

If not, then I suggest waiting a little longer fro any other input from other forum members.

 

This is something that i already tried. The drive is setup to GPT and i have attempted to install the windows 7 drivers from HP to no avail.

I have left the drive as GPT. ( I set the drive to GPT prior to starting this tread.)

 

Ok, thanks

Then I guess it's time to try the Nvidia drivers in post# 12

If there is an issue you can roll the drivers back in Device manager.

 

No good =(
I guess linux here i come. lol

Thanks for all the help. I would think there would be a generic driver for this issue. But oh well. It works in linux

 

WAIT!!!!! Noticed that after running the install driver program that the driver version number had not changed. So i did a driver update from the device manager pointing the driver update to the folder that the install program created and BAMB!!!!!! Problem resolved!!!


You rock SlartyBart!!!!
