Hello,
I know there have been many threads made about this topic, but I still can't seem to find an answer to my question. I am adding a 1TB WD Blue HDD to my system which has a 120GB Intel SSD with windows 7 on the SSD. Now, when I hook up the new mechanical drive to the pre-existing system, it is recognized in the bios but not in windows 7. So I go into disk management to activate it, and windows is asking if I want the drive to be MBR or GPT. As far as I have researched, MBR is the right choice. However, is it going to cause problems that my SSD has windows on it, while the storage drive is a MBR?
After following this I assume I just right click on the drive in disk manager and click create volume, and just make the volume the max size (~990GB)?

Thanks!
