don't worry about windows 7 under protection GPT you have to initialise the drive with (GPT). With this partitioning scheme, up to 64 bits of information can be used in logical sectors. This means a theoretical limitation of 9.4 zB (9.4 zettabytes or 9.4 billion terabytes). The problem with GPT is that older operating systems like windows xp only support (MRB) and you can't use HDD on windous versions older than windous 7.
