Heck i tried to create a GPT installed and i still got an MBR system!  and this is with a brand new ASUS P9X79 Mobo ....  or if it is GPT it's really well hidden and even windows thinks it's MBR!

also with some of the new x79 boards installing is tricky, i found a walk thru on toms hardware that helped. without it i was getting a bad install that never worked right.....

had to copy windows and drivers onto a flash drive and install from that with my dvd unpluged and only the boot drive plugged in.

trying to install from dvd wound up with a boot drive that would keep asking for windows repair.

nasty.....

but now the new system is sweet ... no ssd right now, possibly later.
