IIRC, fdisk will warn about GPT, but when you use 'o' to generate a new |
| 14 |
partition table, it generates an MBR. If you're going to repartition and |
| 15 |
reinstall, fdisk will create an MBR partition table. No matter how old |
| 16 |
or recent it is, by default it should create MBR. Just did it a week ago |
| 17 |
on my laptop, so unless the behavior has changed in a week, you should |
| 18 |
be good with fdisk. |
