Help with max number of HDD
I'm running a straight forward Win 7 U x64 machine allbeit with now 10 hard drives I have tried to initialize and partition a couple of new drives but it just comes up with errors saying i need to convert to gpt or gpd (sorry can't remember what one) i rebooted with a bootcd for an app called mini tool partition wizard home v6.0 and it will format to ntfs but its size is only 2048gb and 746 is unallocated, if i convert to this format called GPT it makes a hidden partition of 128mb and a data partition of 2794GB.
My question is why can't i just format like i used to with drives C, D, E, F etc? Is this GPT safe to use in windows and apps like Acrinics true image or do i need to buy another bit of software to format these new drives.
