When SeaTools boots up, carefully read the license agreement, and press Y if you accept it.

You must delete its current partition then repartition and format the drive to gain the full capacity of the drive. Seagate is not responsible for any lost data.Īfter correcting the drive capacity, the drive may still show a partition size of 32GB but with unallocated space. This is a potentially data destructive procedure. It is recommended that you back up any important data on the hard drive before using SeaTools to set the drive size. Any other hard drives should be disconnected. It is recommended that you only have the hard drive reporting the incorrect capacity connected to your system while performing the following steps. In order to correct this, you will need to download SeaTools for DOS, boot into the SeaTools disc, and run the Set Capacity utility. Incorrect Reporting to the BIOS: The drive itself may be reporting the incorrect size to the BIOS.You will need to format the drive in NTFS if you want to partition the drive larger than 32 GB. That means if you formatted the drive in FAT 32 with Windows, the largest partition supported is 32 GB. Operating System: Windows have a 32 GB format limitation for FAT 32.The ability to support the faster transfer rates of the drive.The ability to support large capacity drives.The two benefits of ATA controller cards are: (Recommended) Purchase a PCI ATA controller card that will support the capacity of the drive.Check with the system or motherboard manufacturer for any BIOS upgrades for the system.If not please perform one of the following: If the BIOS detects the full capacity of the drive then the BIOS will support the capacity of the drive. In the BIOS setup please set the drive type to AUTO detect.

BIOS: On older systems (pre- November 1998) the BIOS may not support drives that are larger than 32 GB.You must reformat the drive without the CLJ or AC jumper to gain the full capacity of the drive. After removing the CLJ or AC jumper the drive will still be recognized as 32GB. If you format the drive with the CLJ or AC jumper then the drive capacity will be limited to 32GB. If you have two jumpers shunts on the drive you will need to remove the CLJ or AC jumper. This jumper will limit the capacity of the drive to 32 GB and should only be used when the BIOS hangs when trying to auto-detect the drive. On drives that are larger than 32 GB there is a Capacity Limitation Jumper (CLJ), also known as the Limit Capacity Jumper or the Alternate Capacity (AC) Jumper setting. This is the Windows native solution for booting a 3TB drive to a single partition.If the operating system, BIOS or DiscWizard can only recognize 32 GB of the drive it may be caused by one of the following:ĭrive Jumpers: Applies to Mac and Window users. Windows 10/ 8 / 7 and Vista 64-bit operating systems support booting from UEFI and GPT without the need of a non-Microsoft device driver. UEFI BIOS desktop systems are new since 2011. Windows can only boot a GPT partition on a new type of BIOS called UEFI.

You can use GPT today on any Windows 10 / 8 / 7 and Vista system as a non-booting data drive. GUID Partition Tables (GPT) can define drives larger than 2.2TB.

The device driver mounts the capacity above 2.2TB with another MBR which looks to the system as a second virtual “physical” device. Two partitions will be necessary because of the MBR limitation. A 3TB disk drive in a legacy BIOS and Window system will need a DiscWizard device driver to access the full capacity of a 3TB disk drive. Windows operating systems that boot from an MBR are therefore limited to 2.2TB per MBR. The MBR Partitions can define a disk drive capacity up to 2.2TB. This type of BIOS uses a Master Boot Record (MBR).

Most legacy systems built before 2011 have a traditional PC BIOS.
