![]() If I currently have a data drive, since I will be purchasing a 2-bay usb 3.0 drive and slap in 2-2TB new hard drives. In some of my readings, they say boot using legacy mode or boot using UEFI - how do you actually select do that? Can I convert my system disk to GPT to get the advantages after the MBR backup? If it is now converted to GPT and after say a week, I didn't want a program that I installed or had some virus and want to restore from an MBR backup, will that mess up my system drive and make my system unbootable? Now I do a system backup using ATI 2016, so I assume also is MBR. Why will EFI cd rom show on a boot menu?Ĭurrently, I only have a system drive 1TB and looking at diskpart it does not say GPT so I assume it is MBR. Not sure if my firmware is UEFI capable but there are times that my optical drive shows twice on the boot menu if I boot from a bootable CD - shows EFI cd drive and just cd drive, so I assume EFI cd drive means that I have a UEFI firmware - if somebody can confirm this for me. I have read most stuff about MBR and GPT in these forums and other forums that GPT is the way to go since it can handle more partitions, larger than 2gb drives and less prone to corruption. my system drive based on diskpart and gparted shows that it is an MBR drive. ![]() ![]() System currently running Windows 10 and using ATI 2016 trial. ![]()
