Some very new machines, however, have broken BIOSes that assume GPT == EFI and won't do BIOS-type boots from GPT disks. If you choose "Manual" partitioning in the installer and choose either MBR or BSD for the partition type (press delete on the disk first to erase existing partitioning), does the problem go away? -Nathan
