Acer Aspire Revo and 3tb Drives FYI
#1
I have an acer aspire revo running dharma beta 4 LIVE. It does not recognize my new Western Digital My Book Essential 3.0/2.0 USB 3tb hard drive formatted for Mac.

SOLUTION: I partitioned the drive into two 1.5tb Mac partitions and it recognizes them both just fine. Linux limitation? I don't know. Just thought I'd let you know. It took two days to transfer over 3tb of media only to find out XBMC LIVE wouldn't recognize it.

You have to format it using GPT as opposed to MBR to be able to use it on ANY OS. MBR has a limitation of 2TB.
