WD MyBook 6 TB as rescue device problem
Hi,
i thought i can use ACI easily with WD MyBook. But failed.
When i like it to have as bootable resuce device, ACI creates 2 partitions and formats only
one of those with 2 TB with FAT 32.
4 TB get lost this way.
Can anyone say how to get full 6 TB usable and still have MyBook as bootable rescue device ?
Thank you

Also, what is your OS (Win 7, 8, 8.1 or 10... is it 32-bit or 64-bit... and is it installed in legacy/MBR mode or UEFI/GPT mode)?
And then, what about the 6TB drive? It needs to be GPT to be able to access more than 2TB as this is a Windows limitation.
