Legacy PC/BIOS platforms can work with a hybrid GPT which includes the legacy or "protective" MBR used by pre-EFI systems; FreeBSD 7 and later, recent Linux, MacOS X 10.4 and later should be able to boot from disks with that hybrid format. If you need to dual-boot into Windows, however, and your hardware doesn't provide EFI then you're likely stuck using MBR + PC/BIOS only. Regards, -- -ChuckReceived on Thu Jan 20 2011 - 21:16:10 UTC
