Thank you.  I will have to try that later this afternoon.  Am I able to do that conversion during the installation process of my OS?

In order to access more than 2.2tb of your drive you need to use a GPT partition. Typical MBR partitions are limited to ~2.2tb so even with the unlocker you will be unable to utilize more than that. That sounds to me like the problem you are having based on your last post. GPT will only function as a boot device under windows 7/8 64bit.]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2015 22:04:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=337&PID=1489&title=z77-extreme4-and-raid#1489 <![CDATA[Z77 Extreme4 and RAID : I appreciate the response.

I appreciate the response.  I tried that yesterday and unless I am doing it wrong that created another problem for me because it created a disk 1 with another 2Tb.  So now I have Disk 0 with 350MB system reserved, 2TB C drive, and 2TB unallocated that it won't let me do anything with at all and now Disk 1 with 2TB and I am running a 64bit system]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:54:10 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=337&PID=1488&title=z77-extreme4-and-raid#1488 <![CDATA[Z77 Extreme4 and RAID : This is what you are after ]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=337&PID=1487&title=z77-extreme4-and-raid#1487 Author: Xaltar

I am running a RAID 1 on my computer but with my 4TB I am only seeing 2TB of my storage.  I looked at the RAID configuration manager and it shows that I have to install certain drivers for it to recognize HDD larger than 2TB but my problem is that I don't have the support CD to get these drivers and the drivers on ASRock website are not the ones I am needing. ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2015 21:00:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=337&PID=1486&title=z77-extreme4-and-raid#1486
