4 TB HDD detection problem

Hi,

I just shelled a Hitachi HDS5C4040ALE630 (Deskstar 5K4000) from a WB My Book to replace my aging Samsung 2 TB F4 data drive (main rig, see signature). I am booting Windows 7 (64-bit) off an Intel X25-M SSD.

The Hitachi HDD is correctly listed in the BIOS as a 4 TB drive, however Windows 7 only sees it as a 1677.90 GB drive. Yes, I am aware of the MBR/GPT difference and the drive is correctly initialized as GPT:

The board is an MSI P55M-GD45 (i5-750 CPU), BIOS has just been flashed to version 1.A (1.10 from 2011-03-01, comment: "- Support HDD over 2.2 TB."). SATA is set to "AHCI".

Any idea what I can try to have it detect the full capacity?

Thanks!

Turns out that I had an outdated version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager installed. AN upgrade to "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)" version 11.7.0 fixed the incorrectly reported drive capacity.
