Hi Neil, |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
...because I have experienced neither any restrictions nor any |
| 32 |
fragilities in the last 12 years of using a MTB setup with that |
| 33 |
"MS-DOS" setup (technically it is more a MTB-setup. MSDOS refers |
| 34 |
to V/FAT, which needs to be used with UEFI in the first partition |
| 35 |
as far as I know...isn't it?) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
In short: Never chance a runnig system. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
But let us better discuss on a more technical level, since I asked |
| 40 |
for technical help and not for more rethorical given question as |
| 41 |
an answer. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Cheers! |
