I installed Win 8 64-bit fron an UEFI USB drive. How do I check if the drive is using GPT instead of MBR after installing?

In disk management I see the following partitions:
300 MB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
99 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
118 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page file, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

In diskpart I see the following partitions:
Partition 1 Recovery 300 MB
Partition 2 System 99 MB
Partition 3 Reserved 128 MB
Partition 4 Primary 118 GB
