Let a Ga-ep45-ud3r boot on >2TB disk

[pointertovoid]

Hello you all!

You may have noticed (or may not, it's not advertised that much) that the old partition scheme (=Mbr type), where sector numbers are coded over 32 bits in the partition table on the disk, is limited to disks (not volumes) of 2TB. Over that limit, which is coming right now, you need an Mpt-type partition.

Few existing Windows (Linux looks better once again) are capable of handling this Mpt partition, but even before Windows or another OS can start its mess, the Bios must read the partition table to find the boot sector that will start the OS. In other words, the Bios must speak Mpt.

The (P45 and) ich10r I plan to have are said to access disks >2TB, which isn't the case of every chipset. But does anyone know which release (if any...) of the Bios is able to boot on >2TB on the Ga-ep45-ud3r mobo?

Thanks a lot!
