UNSOLVED
Alien Aurora UEFI support?
I bought a hitachi deskstar 3tb drive which made this installation more of a hassle than i bargained. So to make this drive the boot drive I will need to have windows 7 x64bit installed on it but also support UEFI mode in my bios. I can't seem to find anything about UEFI there, am I supposed to install something first or will this motherboard never support it?
What exact Release model Aurora do you have? If you don't know ... what processor do you have installed?
I think only the new R4 has uEFI .

I have an i7 920 quad processor @2.67ghz
That's a R1 with a X-58 chipset ... no uEFI.
Boot with a normal drive or a SSD and use the 3tb as second drive.

Yes, it does ... but this is only a problem because we finally crossed the 2tb barrier with 2.5tb and 3.0tb drives.
I like my solutions better because you can use full space for $100 ... for free if you have a working spinning drive laying around.

I am booting from my old HDD as it is now, so i can store things on the 3tb drive. The problem is my new drive is a lot faster so I would like it to handle all of my programs. Don't games require windows to use?
