Where can I find a manuel for my emachine ET1331G-05w?

Emachine website is Download Center ALL Products No BIOs update for it is listed for the 3TB problem. But back in the days of the 1 Gig problem, we would just make different partitions to get around the problem. Might work as well here. If you installing a new harddrive do a clone of your old one. It will make a copy of all your current harddrive info and layout onto the 3TB drive. Just larger partitions if you need help on doing this just ask and give the brand and model. So I can look up the software from the manufacturer. Also state one brand of the old drive.

a suggestion run CHKDSK. C:\ CHKDSK /F/R from the commando promt as,ADMINISTRATOR.this can take several hours.

See if the "Page 23" info helps...

Thanks for using Fixya.

I think you may have a SATA DVD and your "Old" machine is IDE, SATA is a tiny connector and a slim power plug. IDE is a long slot full of pins and the Usual white power connector. Either that or vice-versa, in any event, either get a proper replacement, the best, or you can get converters for your drive. Ebay has them. they are called USB to SATA/IDE dongles.
