New hard drive MBR or GPT

[n10669]

Hi, I just bought a new hard drive and when I go into disk managment it says that it needs to initialize the disk before disk manager can recognize it and wants to know if it will be a MBR (master boot record) or an GPT (GUID partition table). I will be using this drive for FSX and storage. Which should I use?
Thanks Mark

Select the MBR for windows and have a look at Method One in this tutorial at the link below for some storage ideas and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
