However, i do worry that the motherboard will not be able to see a larger capacity drive. After some research, i notice that the new drive (with fresh copy of windows 7 installation) require something called &#8220;GPT&#8221; which is new to me. Further research show that i will need a board that comes with &#8220;UEFI&#8221; bios, which i believe i had it. Here are the specifications of my system :<\/p>\n<p>1. Intel G2020<br \/>\n2. Asrock H61M-DGS (Asrock H71M-DGS)<br \/>\n3. 2 x 4 GB Kingston valueram<br \/>\n4. 2TB HDD<br \/>\n5. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit<\/p>\n<p>I would like to know if there&#8217;s anything in the bios i need to configure and how do i partition the drive into &#8220;GPT&#8221; format.<\/p>\n<p>TIA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":8},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9303","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9303"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
