what missing?



hi thomas,

though uefi bootable disk, please let know if select gpt or mbr drive format.

should choose gpt disk larger 2tb.

windows setup: installing using mbr or gpt partition style

also please check cluster size when format hard disk. 512 bytes cluster size, max ntfs partition size 2tb. 

understanding 2 tb limit in windows storage
