Re: Allow GPT Partition for Boot Partition (not System Partition)

Eric, The simple answer is "Yes". It does it to the same extent that WinXP-64
does (i.e. as a data partition only). In fact I'm running that way right now
with a 5TB drive array. That goes for both 32-bit and 64-bit Vistas. There
was also a statement that the 64-bit vista would allow boot/system partition
use (only for an EFI compliant system), but that seems to have been delayed
to a future release of Vista (possibly a service pack).
