Hi,

 

Few days ago i bought new Seagate XT 2TB (641AS model). I have big problem with HDD capacity.... :-(  motherboard BIOS (mobo model GIGABYTE GA-X48-DQ6)  nad OS (windows 7 ultimate) recognize hard drive as 1 TB. My question is hot to get full 2Tb capacity

 

BR,

Pawlo

A bug in Gigabyte's Xpress Recovery BIOS has truncated your drive.

See this thread for an explanation and solution:

BTW, I believe this problem is now covered in the Common Issues thread:
