Hi,
I just purchased a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB (WD1002FAEX) and plugged it in. However, Windows wants me to initialize the disk and gives me two options for this:
1. MBR (Master Boot Record)
and
2. GPT (GUID Partition Table)
So my question is which one of these should I chose? And does it have any influence what my other drives are (I don't really know what they are since I haven't seen this before)? My other disks are a Vertex 2 SSD and an old Samsung F1 1TB disk. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
I hope someone can help. Thanks
