If you want to have fun, buy 3 TB HDD (WD Red)\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
USB-SATA no go, 3TB -> ~800GB >:|<\/p>\n
eSATA on notebook OK \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
MBR partition max 2TB, no go :\/<\/p>\n
GPT is a must<\/p>\n
GTP = Windows no boot (BIOS system) :\/<\/p>\n
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO:<\/p>\n
IDE mode 3TB no go\u00a0-> ~800GB >:|<\/p>\n
switch to AHCI in BIOS<\/p>\n
BSOD unaccessibble boot device (of course)<\/p>\n
switch back to IDE, get AHCI driver from ASUS (chipset driver, vga driver, raid make disk…)<\/p>\n
switch half to AHCI, leave rest IDE, swap sata cables, boot device to IDE, reorder boot in BIOS…<\/p>\n
install AHCI drivers, regedit …<\/p>\n
switch all to AHCI, fix boot order<\/p>\n
it works \ud83d\ude42 …<\/p>\n
SMART, temperature monitoring broken \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
install other monitoring software, no joy \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
copy files from old HDD via eSATA<\/p>\n
eSATA hot plug no go, BSOD (kernel stack…) \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
reboot, raid rebuild…….<\/p>\n
copy, compare\u00a0files from old HDD via USB-SATA<\/p>\n
google … google … sleep … google … work … google …<\/p>\n
change AHCI driver (AMD chipset driver SB7xx 2013.01.17), reboot<\/p>\n
Windows reactivate (hardware has changed)\u00a0?:? What? .. who cares .. ok.<\/p>\n
Where is the 3 TB? Disk managerinitialise disk wizard ?! WTF ! >:(<\/p>\n
testdisk 6.13, fix EFI GTP<\/p>\n
reboot<\/p>\n
RAW filesystem … 4 f*%k sakes…<\/p>\n
testdisk, rebuild boot sector<\/p>\n
chkdsk, OK, huhh\u00a0<\/p>\n
ata command pass through also works, so smart and temperature monitoring is back \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It was “fun”.<\/p>\n
(eSATA hot plug ? Maybe later, it was enough for a while…)<\/p>\n
