Hi,
When GParted creates a GUID partition table, is a protective MBR
created automatically? Is any interaction from me necessary or
advisable?
Answers may be in documentation but I haven't found them. A link is
welcome.
Thanks, ... P.
Hello,
(I am not knowledgeable on this subject)
GPT specs on uefi.org seem to mandate the use of protective MBR (MBR
partition table: legacy MBR, GPT partition table: protective MBR):
https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/05_GUID_Partition_Table_Format.html?__cf_chl_tk=SMjqN9spMdn1nhVis_qsEGSMd38ei83cxqk77OzivLE-1779826234-1.0.1.1-zcn5OFq5VKgR9Pecqr_vCgmepxsdiUu6PMutn0FGStE#lba-0-format
Hybrid MBR seems to be a sort of trick to use with enhanced BIOSes that
manage GPT but are not UEFI compliant
