    according to Xccess at Daxii.com it doesnt matter for my 1TB drive using Windows Vista Home Premium

    What's the difference between MBR and GPT Partition Styles?

    it says:
    MBR is the standard partitioning scheme it supports a maximum partition size of 2TB,
    GPT disks are new supports a partition size > 2TB and unlimited partitions, GPT disks are readable only by Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows Vista (all versions), and Windows XP x64 Edition.

    i would like to thank myself for taking this time to answer my own question. and Xcess too.
