    Mini Tool Partition Wizard initalize before install win7 ultimate


    first of all . thanks barefoot kid. what would be the better initalization mbr or gpt?
    hard drives are 1tb each showing up as basic unallocated 931.5gb raw.

    would recommend mbr or gpt?:).

    thinking about mbr. isn't that a ntfs format old master boot record type.
    would win7 run better on gpt?

    anyone have a suggestions.
    thanks

    I would recommend you stick with MBR.

    +1.

    Stick with MBR.

    Now I have a question.
    The title of your post had no association with the content of your post.

    Was this an oversight?

    As you have a EFI-BIOS, you can use GPT or MBR.

    If you boot drives > 2TB then consider GPT.
    I have a high end ASUS motherboard with UEFI BIOS and still use MBR. My rationale is to avoid possible compatability problems at this stage of UEFI rollout and I don't want large OS drives.
