    Disregard. DBAN'd and reformatted. running GPT w/ SecureBoot now.


    Now that 8.1 is out and downloaded, I'm going to reformat my X230t.

    I also plan on changing over to UEFI boot. Is there anything else that should be done with that change? (I've read something about MBR vs GUID when using UEFI, but can't remember what it said, as it was several months ago. Should I just run a DBAN and let Windows figure it out?)
