Using a 1 TB USB hard drive

(1/4) > >>

Neil Waldhauer:
I'm looking at using a 1 TB USB portable hard drive. But eCS sees it as a 500 GB drive. What do I need to do to see the full 1 TB?

Eugene Gorbunoff:
Do you talk about bootable hard drive?

Bootable harddrive can't be larger than 500 Gb.

Jan-Erik Lärka:
I use a 2TB USB hard drive (Seagate Backup Plus) to store data on... but not to boot from.

I used DFSee to adjust the size of the existing NTFS partition and created a JFS volume with the appropriate settings.

A bootable harddrive can be larger than 500GB. I tried it with a 1TB and 2 TB HDD. Maybe you are saying that the bootable partition can not be larger than 500GB, I never tried that, I installed OS2-ecs in 20GB max.

Eugene Gorbunoff:
Yes, bootable partition should be below the first 500 Gb.
