I think I might have just found the answer on this one, since its 32bit doesn't look like it supports GPT partitions on the boot drive. Z Edward E.

I am trying to get a GPT disk created before the installation of the OS, and make sure that I take 80GB out of the Windows 2008 OS, and the rest make a partition of 4TB or more. I am running up against the issue when creating it from the Smart-Start, it creates the partition ( as MBR) therefore I can't convert the OS/Boot partition accordingly, since it has to be an empty MBR disk before converting. Any idea how to create a 4TB+ drive before installing the OS and have it be as GPT and not MBR? Z Edward E.
