    Hacking 3 TB Seagate Works...

    I was doing it through Windows Server 2008. I'll try through Windows XP as soon as I can backup everything I now have on the hard drive.

    Hacking 3 TB Seagate Works...

    I'm no longer able to confirm if there was or wasn't a 3TB MBR out of the box. Too late for me to return my drive in hopes of exchanging it for another also...and I'm not buying another one lol. Hopefully someone else can confirm this... And yes, I agree with you. If it was there before, it...

    Hacking 3 TB Seagate Works...

    I edited my post. Of course no drive will come pre-formatted to WBFS. What dexter222 is saying is that the 3TB Seagate drive out of the box comes as 3TB MBR drive (not GPT). It must be formatted by the user to WBFS (and not splitting the partition or doing anything else to it) in order to have a...

    Hacking 3 TB Seagate Works...

    The 3TB Seagate drives DO work...but it seems that (from dexter222's findings) unless it is formatted WBFS once opened out of the box and not to anything else, you will only have access to 2TB of the entire drive.

    Hacking 3 TB Seagate Works...

    Took me some time to figure that GPT-MBR problem. Glad there is a place like this to help people out. I am in the same situation as you white_rice. From what I was able to understand from dexter222, the drives originally come with the entire 3TB drive as MBR. So if we had formatted it and...

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader & 3TB Seagate Drive

    I did look through that thread (many times lol). Overlooked the option to switch from GPT-to-MBR on my PC. It's working great on CFG now! But GX still times out when detecting the hard drive for me. And yes, bless their hearts!!! LOL

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader & 3TB Seagate Drive

    This did it!!! Can't believe I overlooked that option so many times. As soon as I selected MBR, it split my drive into two partitions (2TB and 746.52GB). Although I can not format the smaller partition of the two, this is certainly a lot better than having the loader only recognize 127.9GB...

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader & 3TB Seagate Drive

    Ubuntu should be fine to do this then, right? What are the commands? Anything is worth a try right now.

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader & 3TB Seagate Drive

    Formatted the entire drive to FAT32 using Wii Backup Manager 3.8 successfully. CFGUSB Loader still gives the "select a different partition or format a WBFS partition" message. Everything else is exactly the same.

    Hacking Configurable USB Loader & 3TB Seagate Drive

    Hello everyone. I'm new to posting on this forum, but not new in visiting to get information. I come here a lot to get updated on the latest information. I recently bought a 3TB Seagate GoFlex drive. Some people on this forum have had success with this kind of external drive...
