format c: gpt conversion

Be carefull with windows 8.0 and 8.1 because you can format your harddrive and later convert to gpt
The gpt canot hold a mbr and is other configured, maby there is a other way to format it.
You must recreate the drive to ntfs with a bootable dvd drive with a harddisk partition manager onit.
Just be carefull what you are doing when you convert your original ntfs partition to gpt.
Gpt is a more modern disk util and can handle larger disk then ntfs , and can hold a much larger volume then normal ntfs formated drives.
I did that a few days ago and I did had much troubles to get the drive back to ntfs.
I just wanna say windows 8.0 or 8.1 users be carefull what you are doing with those gpt converted disks, its a lot of work to get the ntfs partition back online again.
Always use gpt partition disk for separated disk not as a boot disk for windows with the mbr on it.
