   IMHO you will need to change the motherboard.  Very few TX boards
know about drives over 8Gb.  Without checking details my first
assumption would be that this belongs in that category.

    Put the drive on a board that is *known* to support large sizes.
If it *still* doesn't work then send the drive back!

    Regards,
            Harry.
