Windows Server 2008 R2: 3TB drives not being fully seen.

[Lyian]

Greetings.

I have 2 WD Red 3TB drives im trying to setup for Raid 1. While i got it setup in the Bios, when i goto Drive management in Windows, it only sees the drives as 746.39 GB.

How can i get it to see the full drive space? OR am i not setting this up correctly?

Thanks

[edit] Motherboard is Asus P8H77-I

Without knowing the model of board or controller the drives are connected to, make sure you have the Intel RST 10.1 or newer RAID driver installed...

Im assuming this is under Device manager? The only thing i have in device manager currently is Intel ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/ DO SATA RAID CONTROLLER version 8.6.2.1315, date: 8/6/2010

... then install the RST driver from the link I posted above.

Hum.. maybe im missing something. That file doesnt have a setup, and the two unknown devices dont see any of those drivers as the correct one, so not sure how to install it.

You downloaded the SetupRST.exe executable, and it doesn't have a setup?
