Seems ridiculous to put a 1tb disk in a router. Just my 2 cents.

well it works well x86 with 2 gig ram and 1TB FTP usage

Maybe there is pin, that limits capacity to 32 Gigs, or some settings in bios.

thats not it but ill find this problem as i have done some testing and so for looks like bois on motherboard thats not supported by mikrotik

well,what bios is showing is what it is showing, that is reported back AFAIK. Mikrotik is neutral to all motherboard vendors.

edit:

also, for FTP server i would suggest to install FTP server, as that will provide with more FTP features than FTP server in RouterOS. That is - if you really need FTP server, and not some small and temporal data storage, and 1TB is hard to call temporary or small. At least in year 2009.
