But I could do all of that with fdisk/cfdisk! Other than being GUI-based, is there any distinct advantage to using GPT? I've used GPT/Gparted on a few occasions in the past when messing with various Debian-based distros install. The colour scheme used was so faint that I had a rough time grokking what I was looking at. That never happened with fdisk. Just saying .... While on the subject of booting and partitioning etc, I've included below, 2 Dropbox links of images of my ASUS BIOS. Would you be in a position to explain to me what AHCI vs IDE is? As well, I see that I can enable/disable UEFI and PXE ROM. What is PXE ROM? Given that ASUS laptop will NEVER again have any microsoft products loaded/running on it, do I need UEFI enabled? https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqatyrlsdatzkaa/BIOS1.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ojod4f8ad3zo59/BIOS2.jpg?dl=0 -- Duke Normandin <sidney.reilley.ii@gmail.com>
