Upper limit on memory in os x 10.4?

I have an older mac book pro, running 0S X 10.4.11

I just tried attaching an external SATA drive that is 3TB (Journal Extended). And I get an error... this disk is not initialized. The hard drive worked fine in my larger mac pro running osx 10.5. The enclosure worked fine with a 1tb drive. Does the older operating system have an inability to see a 3TB drive?

Any help would be great.

Was this external hard drive formatted using Utilities from OS 10.5 or OS 10.4. Maybe trying to reformat it first with 10.4 will help.

Quote: "Max volume size of HFS+ is 8 EIB (exbibyte's)"

"The exbibyte is a standards-based binary multiple (prefix exbi, symbol Ei) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage. The exbibyte unit symbol is EiB.
1 exbibyte = 260 bytes = 1152921504606846976bytes = 1,024 pebibytes
The exbibyte is closely related to the exabyte, which is defined as 1018 bytes = 1000000000000000000bytes (see binary prefix)."
