Hi Wolf, hi Andrea, hi Peter, |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
*Partition type '83': |
| 20 |
I changed the type to 83 using fdisk and this worked fine. Now |
| 21 |
/dev/sdb1 is recognized again. |
| 22 |
Just to confirm this... |
| 23 |
I think, I feel better if I repartitioning/reformat both drives, |
| 24 |
though. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
*GPT/MBR |
| 27 |
From a discussion based on a "GPT or MBR for my system drive" in |
| 28 |
conjunction with UEFI it was said, that GPT is more modern and |
| 29 |
save. |
| 30 |
My question was meant not so much as "MBR or GPT?" |
| 31 |
but more whether there are some variants of GPT (with |
| 32 |
protected MBR for example -- which was completly new to me), |
| 33 |
which I should use or avoid. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
But: Are rescue systems for USB-stick more UEFI/GPT aware nowadays |
| 36 |
or "traditionally" based on MBR/BIOS-boot? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
One thing I found is really handy: An USB-stick with an rEfind |
| 39 |
installation. As long as your PC supports UEFI (or can switched to it) |
| 40 |
rEfind is able to boot "everything" without prior configuration. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Some rescue-system which really shines and with which you have made good |
| 43 |
experiences? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Cheers! |
