Have some additional questions. My old disk is MBR partitioned. I want to reserve only a part of the disk for my Win7 installation and in order to do that I must initialise the disk (This is in Windows7). A question comes up about using MBR or GPT (GUID Partition Table) I know I can just go ahead and use MBR but I would like to ask if GPT would be beneficial. Is it possible to use GUID when one has a dual boot system? I presume that FreeBSD can handle GPT but I'm unsure! Will someone enlighten me? Thanks :-) /Leslie
