Hi,
I have two HDDs: one is an SSD that only has Mavericks installed in it. The other is a 2TB HDD that is called "Data", and is where I put my movies, music, photos, etc... No OS is installed on that drive. It is the drive where I'd like to install Windows 7 or 8.1 (doesn't really matter). That Data drive is formatted as GPT, and Windows can't be installed on a GPT drive, so I wonder how to go about doing that. Can I format it (and move the important stuff to the SSD meanwhile...) and choose MBR this time? Will Mavericks be able to write and read from that drive even if it's GPT? If yes, then I think I'll be able to split it to one partition that's that Journaled type and one that's NTFS - for Windows.
Please let me know if this could work.
Thanks.
