Not sure either but I do know GPT is mainly used for 2GB I did see some stuff on converting GPT to MBR but I didn't follow it. Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key... ...now these points of data make a beautiful line... Original Message Subject: Re: [H]

T - That's because I didn't unmount it first. I just pulled the drive and then hooked it up to an external USB3 SATA cable. I should have unmounted/removed it from Disk Mgmt snap in first. If I had, I'd be fine. Since I hadn't... It might be toast. I'm going to hook it back up today - to the

As I guessed, I screwed the pooch. I went wrong as soon as I told Windows to apply GPT again. From what I gathered. I should have stopped - put the drive back where it was, removed/unmounted then proceeded along. Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key... ...now these points of data

Well, I'm very glad for you, I'm also lucky in the fact that nothing there was to critical and/or can be transferred again. However, this did indeed happen. I also looked up the info as I have described to everyone that is a fact. The only other thing I can think of is, I went from an internal

I have 2 - nVidia GTX 460's SLI'd on a Win7 x64 box. ASUS's included utility is kind of crappy. Anyone suggest something they use to trim down power use of the cards when your not gaming? More features - fine, but that's my main focus. Save power! Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any'

I'm not at all suggesting that it didn't happen; I'm just making sure that the rest of the collective knows that this is a freak incident and that it is not a requirement to do anything special in disk management or otherwise when moving a GPT disk. I've worked with a lot of GPT disks many

Thanks for the input. I did load up NAS4FREE and the problem seems to be fixed now. The interface is more what I'm used to since my old DIY NAS was freenas 7.? I'm getting decent file transer speed with no pauses. I'm doing a 2 TB copy using unstoppable copier as a test and so far no hiccups. :)

MBR can only be used as the partition table for disks not exceeding 2.2 trillion bytes in size (technically, it's a limit of 2^32 sectors, which is 2.2 trillion bytes using a standard 512/512e HDD). Once you cross that boundary, you need to use a different form of partition table - the GUID
