according to Xccess at Daxii.com it doesnt matter for my 1TB drive using
Windows Vista Home Premium

'What's the difference between MBR and GPT Partition Styles?'
(http://www.daxii.com/questions/what_... n_styles.aspx)

it says:
MBR is the standard partitioning scheme it supports a maximum partition
size of 2TB,
GPT disks are new supports a partition size 2TB and unlimited
partitions, GPT disks are readable only by Windows Server 2003 SP1,
Windows Vista (all versions), and Windows XP x64 Edition.

i would like to thank myself for taking this time to answer my own
question. and Xcess too.
