Booting Linux though, I have not tried with Windows. Google says: Can BIOS boot from GPT disk? Can you use BIOS and GPT together? They can, provided that you have a boot loader capable of booting a system from a drive with GPT, and which fits into the space reserved in the legacy MBR. The legacy MBR is quite small, so fitting a boot loader that supports both MBR and GRP into that space would be quite difficult.31 Mar 2023 Or: Booting GPT disk on BIOS systems -- Cheers, Carlos.
