what a chore.
got me a new 2tb hdd
plugged it in, bios recognises it, so did windows.. sort of. the disk management knew there's a disk there and ask to initialise it.
done.
then partition and format it..... eh.. apparently i can partition it but not format it. quick format fails.. a slow format... practically freezes the machine.
shut it down and unplugged the new drive to repair windows (due to improper shutdown).... look it up some more and apparently i need to install motherboard drivers (nvidia nforce 680i)...
installed, plugged it back in again.. got rid of partitions and redid it.. quick format too a few seconds
just ranting..
just as well i didn't go for 3tb!
