Mixing a GPT data disk with MBR OS and other data disks
Hi guys
Need some advice here.
I have Win 7 Ultimate x64 installed on a H77 board (assume it's UEFI compatible). The OS is on a partition residing on a 160GB raptor HDD that's MBR/NTFS formatted. I also have several other 2TB WD Greens also on MBR/NTFS.
I've recently gotten a Seagate 3TB Barracuda that I intend to use as a data disk.
My question is: Can a GPT data disk work in a sea of other MBR disks?
I don't want to have to reformat the rest of the data disks, or even the OS disk, to MBR if I can help it. With over 10TB of data, I don't have the temp storage to move the data to if I have to convert the rest along with it.
Thanks guys
