[QUOTE="krs, post: 1851631, member: 67742"] I would think so. I'm not sure how you got to where you are.... Did you format the drives originally? My understanding is that the Master Boot Record partition map only applies to MS-DOS & ExFat formatting; I would copy all the files from that volume showing as Master Boot Record to a temporary storage, then change the partition map to GUID and then copy the files back. But see what others have to say before doing anything. [/QUOTE]
