  Windows and GPT FAQ
  
  Mixing and matching GPT and MBR disks on the same system
  
  GPT and MBR disks can be mixed on systems that support GPT, as described earlier. However, you must be aware of the following restrictions:
  
  Systems that support UEFI require that boot partition must reside on a GPT disk. Other hard disks can be either MBR or GPT.
  Both MBR and GPT disks can be present in a single dynamic disk group. Volume sets can span both MBR and GPT disks.
  

  
  
  Tulad ng sabi sa FAQ, kung enabled ang UEFI sa BIOS ang boot partition ng Windows dapat nasa GPT disk. Yan exactly ang setup mo. After that, wala nang pakialam ang Windows kung ang other drives mo MBR or GPT ("Other hard disks can be either MBR or GPT.")
  
  Kung ayaw mag-appear yung HDD silipin mo muna sa Disk Management tab under Computer Management. Search mo "computer management" sa search bar ng Windows tapos click mo yung app. Sa ilalim ng "Storage" may "Disk Management". Click mo yun at dapat makikita mo yung list ng drives. Kung nandun yung drive pero hindi kita sa File Explorer baka meron ka pang kailangan gawin like i-format yung drive para makita.
