MBR vs GUID - Can I Have Both?
I'm planning on building a new computer. I was thinking of of using a couple
(RAID 0) of SSD for my boot partition (C), and a large RAID 5 ( 2 TiB) for my data partition (D). Assuming my motherboard is not EFFI and my boot partition is MBR, can I format my RAID 5 with a GUID Partition Table (to get around the 2 TiB limit of MBR) and put an NTFS file system on it? Are there tools in the Vista installer or O/S to do this - assuming I can build my RAID after the fact? Can anyone direct me to some information on this? Thanks -- Eric Kolotyluk Software Developer |
