Unfortuntely to get 4TB in drive space I needed all 8 600GB drives, if I take 2 away I lose 600GB off the bat. And Then only have 6X600-600=3TB of space available.
Although I haven't done it before maybe with the extra space on a partition off the one with the 2X600GB drives I could make a mount point on the 3TB GPT partition to give it like another 500TB worth of space? Anyone done that before? Z Edward E.

Then as far as the OS is concerned, you have two physical drives so you can have your boot MBR and your 4tb GPT drive.

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.
