Once it is complete, it will most probably ask you to remove the CD/DVD and reboot the computer. Once this is done, you should be able to boot into Windows, and the install is complete. Windows-systemen met een verouderd BIOS die Extended Capacity Managergebruiken, hebben twee partities nodig op de opstartschijf om de volledige capaciteit te benutten.

Windows Vista en nieuwerNative ondersteuning voor opstartschijven van 3 TB is alleen op UEFI BIOS-systemen en met gebruik van GPT-partities. Most new computers will automatically detect devices through the system setup program (CMOS or BIOS). As the system starts, the auto-detect feature may display the drive model number on screen. Seagate drive model numbers begin with the letters "ST". Some Serial ATA BIOS have a system setup that is not contained within the normal motherboard BIOS.

There are four options in that case: Connect to an External Enclosure (Please verify if the enclosure is compatible with the hard drive). Switch power cables with a device like a CDROM or DVDROM drive so that you are using a known-good power cable.
