Question about disk formats

Thread needs solution

I have a 2 TB system disk with 3 partitions, the second partition is a small restore drive, the third holds only data. I want to clone this disk to a larger 4 TB HD with 4 partitions, 2 holding only data. My
question is: will Acronis format the entire new drive as MBR? I'd like the entire drive to be GUID but at minimum, I'd really like the two larger data partitions to be GUID. My new HD arrives tomorrow so I'd like to know what experienced users can tell me to expect. Thanks!

Please read through the links below. You are moving from smaller disk to larger with a change in partition size. There is much to consider when doing this type of migration. Educate yourself as much as possible then post back questions that you have.

Will this be a boot drive? If yes, the process is a bit more complex. Otherwise, I would recommend you prepartition your new disk and jus copy the data.

Good point Pat.
