Hello nmsuk, i already did that, as stated in my original post.

Hello Legit Labs, thanks for your reply. I'm afraid it won't help, however: signing the driver is not something a run-of-the-mill user like me can do, and disabling the signed driver enforcemnent is something I already did, as noted in my original post. But thanks for trying! :)

I'll keep on trying now and then to see if anything's changed. You never can tell. :rolleyes:

Hi Scotty, thanks for replying! I cleaned up the registry thoroughly, by editing it offline, and removing all traces of the driver before trying to re-install it. But that didn't help.

Well, it seems my problem is solved (or has gone away :p). I had been playing with the idea of updating rthe Windows on the PC in question from 32 bits to 64 bits for some time, but the prospect of performing a clean install and then re-installing everything all over again kept me from it. But...

Hello Neemobeer, thanks for holding on. I run Windows 10 Education (kind of Pro Plus :) ), and my cluster size is 4096 bytes. However, I noticed something strange in the outpout of the fsutil command. When the problem disk is in a docking station, fsutil says there are 512 bytes per physical...

Hello again, Neemobeer. The disk in question is GPT, and I'm not booting from it, it's a data disk, as I wrote in my post. Yesterday I booted from a Win 10-1709 recovery USB, checked the disk was seen as 3726 GiB by Diskpart (it was), cleaned the disk with Diskpart and partitioned it again...

Hello Neemobeer, thanks for replying. I indeed updated a 32-bit Windows 7 installation. However, nowhere have I come across this 2.2 TB disk size limitation that you mention. Can you point me to its soiurce? Regards, Jaap.

Hi Kemical, thanks for replying. As to your questions: I have installed the driver as administrator and there are no more recent versions. So no hel;p there, I'm afraid. :sorrow:

Well. it seems I've out-asked the experrts... not one reply in over two months. Is it really such a difficult question? No ideas at all, anyone? :scratch:

Hello everyone, I've come across a weird problem that I'd like to share with you: under certain circumstances, Diskpart and some other programs don't report the correct capacity of a hard disk. The disk in question is a new 4 TB, or 3.64 TiB (3726 GiB), Seagate BarraCuda, initalized as a GPT...

Hello everyone, this will be a rather lengthy post. Please bear with me, as I don't know what information is pertinent to my problem and what isn't. I have a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop which has been running 64-bits Windows 10 satisfactorily for quite some time now. However, its original 250 GB...

Let me come back to my first posting in this thread, dated July 1. Sorry for leaving this thread alone for so long; readers might think I really found a solution. "Now things seem to work smoothly", I wrote, optimistically. Well, that lasted for about one night. Next day, I started to play...

I see. I thought, although the NAS isn't in the homegroup, that it would behave like a computer that was, and that the network capabilities of the Windows recovery medium would be too limited to "see" the NAS. Now I understand from your post and from bochane's earlier post that that's not so...

I wondered about your setup. I have three PCs (in a Windows homegroup) and a modem/router ro connect the PCs to the Internet. You wrote that you use "neither a homegroup nor a Windows server just a NAS". That made me curious about your setup.
