You need to partition the 4TB disk into two parts, install Windows on the first 2TB (or smaller) part and install OS X later.


The MBR is created using GPT Fdisk to emulate a legacy BIOS disk layout on a more modern GPT disk. Macs do not have a BIOS User-Interface.


Please see [Help] Can't boot to windows (8.1) after resizing partition as a reference on how MBRs are created/manipulated on a Mac using GPT Fdisk.
