Hi when formating whats the best option. My mobo is a z77xud3h so i can have UEFI format but how do you format propper for this. If i insert my windows 7 dvd and go into the bios and Boot option priorities and go into Boot option 1 i get these choices.

P3:HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS90
PO: SanDisk SDSSDX120GG25
UEFI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS90
Disabled

With Windows 7 disk out of the drive i have options.

If i just built this computer what would be the best options if i was installing windows for the first time and setting up bios propper etc. My PC is.

Intel i7-3770K
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB Kit

Casr Antec P183
CD LG GH24NS90
Noctua NH-D14 Cooler
PSU Antec High Current Pro HCP-850

Both HD's are new and blank? If it was me, I'd disconnect the 2TB until after windows was installed.

With just the SSD connected, insert your Win 7 DVD and it should start from that if the SSD is blank.
