Hi yall! Thank you again for seeing my post.
I have one question regarding partition table, it might sound stupid for some of you, but I'll ask it anyway.

Can I have MBR and GPT formatted partitions running on one hard drive at the same time?
So I have a 3TB HDD, C-marked drive [for the OS] (200GB) and letter D-marked drive (2.5TB), and both of them are in GPT format. I want to reinstall my Windows on C, and reformat it to MBR, but leaving the D as GPT formatted partition, and the question is CAN I DO THAT?

Thanks!

but what happen if I boot from a dvd (not UEFI) and then reformat the C drive? would it still be on GPT format?

edit: and no, it can't be both MBR because I have single 3TB HDD.
