need to initialze a new harddisk!
need to install new hard disk and therefore gotta initialize it but there are two to choose from ...
1. MBR = Master Boot Record 2. GPT = GUID Partion Table which to choose from? i googled and it was mere tech stuff and therefore decided to discuss it here if anyone knows the right answer! :muscle: |
download gparted (it's free) bur it to disc
insert to pc and do what u wan't ,make new patritions ,change labels ,etc bios sometimes shows wrong info btw it is basic input output system :D |
right..... did you mean the GPT choice by gparted or it is choice number 3 ???
|
no gParted is program it will show u if hard drive is used (boot hard drive what have os on it )
if u use windows XP and new hard drive is bigger than 250gb u need to split it in patritions not bigger than 250gb ( xp doesn't read more ) when u does that u can reboot ur pc and windows will detect drive automaticly BUT if gparded doesn't detect new drive check connection to drive if u use linux u have to format drive to ext3 (in case of ubuntu ) |
ummmmm..... i use vista and changing to win7 and had 250GBs BUT wanna install 500GBs and before that i have those above 2 options to choose from in order to get my HD recognized with my PC... therefore needed some pointers in which should i choose while hooking my HD to my laptop!!!

as far as i know if u have 2 hard drives it will only detect 2 bios doesn't read patritions so i don't get what is the problem if u have OS installed on one of hard drives os will automaticly recodnize u know
bios is basic system u don't have to tuch it if u are not shure u need to do that if both hard drives is clean and u put in os install cd u will se it detects hard drives |
