| === Problems on old BIOS hardware ===
| |
| Some old computers still might not boot since they don't support booting from GPT.
| |
| This can be fixed to boot on such old hardware, however the stick afterwards cannot boot on EFI/UEFI systems anymore:
| |
|
| |
| *set the boot flag (active) on the single 0xEE partition in the protective MBR by using fdisk version <= 2.22 (versions 1.23 and newer have GPT support and thus don't make changes to the protective MBR but to the GPT) (I used fdisk (util-linux-ng 2.17.2) on a ScientificLinux 6.7 machine)
| |
| fdisk /dev/sdX
| |
| a
| |
| part 1
| |
| w
| |
|
| |
| *recompute CHS values using option “h” in gdisk's expert menu:
| |
| gdisk /dev/sdX
| |
| x
| |
| h
| |
| m
| |
| q
| |
|
| |
| this can be reversed:
| |
| - toggle bootflag off in old fdisk
| |
| - recompute CHS values in gdisk
| |
|
| |
| (using a sgdisk backup of the GPT should also be fine)
