  • If windows can read from it (which they can, most of the issues stem around from booting from a disk that uses GPT) then EV should be able to archive from it.

    But to be honest, if it's urgent, contact your sales people who should be able to give you the answers you need, and also try testing it and see what happens, that will be your definitive answer

  • Btw from the Microsoft GPT FAQ

     

    15. Can the 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
    All versions of Windows 2003 since Server Pack 1 can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for Itanium-based systems.

    16. Can Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
    Yes, all versions can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for EFI-based systems.

    17. Can Windows 2000, Windows NT 4, or Windows 95/98 read, write, and boot from GPT?
    No. Again, legacy software will see only the Protective MBR.

  • appreciate the answers.

    will test in my environment before deploying at the clients network.
