Hi, I just a second before purchasing my new Harddisk but as usual I type everything that probably can cause a problem with my new component.
Firstly, I want to get a new HD, 3 TB should be a good decision and I won't need to upgrade it for 4 or 5 years. But, google gives me so many article about GPT and 3 TB. As far as I know GPT is something that like MBR controlling the hard disk isn't it?like the logical and primary thingy, but I don't know the detail things. So why this 3 TB hard disk can cause a problem with GPT?Will the same problem happen with 2 TB?
And what's the best solution because I've seen some several thread about deleting the basic MBR partition which probably means a reinstall of windows..
oh btw I already have two 500 GB and will replace the old 500 GB which contains data with 3 TB and I use windows7 64 bit.
THanks
