GPT Disk Manager not showing full 3 TB disk

I am using Win XP Pro SP3. Both "Convert disk to GPT Wizard" and "Create New Partition Wizard" could see only 746.5 GB on my WD Caviar Green 3 TB disk. Re-installed the GPT Loader many times but no difference.

 

1. Do you use HBA (specific adapter) to connect your 3TB drive?
If yes, please try to connect your 3TB drive directly via SATA port.

2. Please post here log files:
find "PWLOG.TXT", "STUBACT.LOG", "BioNTlog.TXT" in "C:\Program Files\Paragon Software\[Program Name]\Program"

3. Please post here a screenshot of Convert Hard Disk to GPT wizard where incorrectly recognized 3TB drive is shown.

 

The drive is directly connected to one of the motherboard's (Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4) SATA port.

Log files and screenshot attached.

 

According to provided info the issue could be related to third-party HDD controller driver installed.

Attached requested info.

System Info file was compressed as .rar and renamed to .txt. Please remove .txt and decompress it.

 

The reason is that your 3TB drive is recognized as SCSI device, not as SATA device.
GPT Loader uses standard SATA\IDE commands and SCSI devices can't work with SATA\IDE commands.

It means that you have third-part HDD controller driver installed (e.g. Nvidia or AMD driver).

In your situation the 3TB drive appears to be connected via JMicron chip, used for RAID and/or for extra IDE and SATA port.


Please try to disable JMicron in BIOS
