Hi Guys,

Ive been reading some of the threads about this topic but it doesnt cover what my question is,
I just bought a new gaming pc with an 240Gb Kingston SSD Now and a normal Seagate 2 TB HD SATA 3, the computer picks up the SSD when I got to System admnistration, Storage, Storage admin, then it pops up with a window asking if I want to give access to my 2nd drive I suppose (DISC 1) as I see that my SSD is Disc 0 and has the OS on, but it asks me if I want to have MBR or GPT for Disc 1, I am not too savvy with PCs I do know a bit but I would like some clarification from more knowledgeable people, my idea is to have the OS and the game that needs most speed on the SSD and then rest of info on the normal HD for storage, maybe the odd old game.
I await your replies and thanks for the help before hand.

 
Solution
So your system is picking up the disk.
You just need to partition and format it to be able to use it.
Go back into disk admin and when prompted use the PGT format as this works best for large disks.
