You&#...You don't seem to get the point of GPT!<br /><br />You're being idiotic by thinking of GPT being ON TOP of MBR. THE ONLY REASON there is a PROTECTIVE MBR on a GPT disk is so that MBR disk tools stay the heck away from it. <br /><br />Also you might want to see this - apparently wiki is not accurate about block 34.<br /><br />http://superuser.com/questions/297232/Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942121772960564800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6090626740339356632.post-34766815765825958702013-03-09T10:49:29.141-07:002013-03-09T10:49:29.141-07:00What's up it's me, I аm alѕο vіѕіting thiѕ...What's up it's me, I аm alѕο vіѕіting thiѕ websitе on a regulaг basis, thiѕ wеb pagе is tгuly gooԁ and thе ρeоple aге <br />in fаct shаring pleаsant thοughts.<br /><br /><br /><br />Μy homepage; <a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/391531761324454974/" rel="nofollow">SEOPressor V5</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6090626740339356632.post-71908671208297430952013-03-09T04:24:47.692-07:002013-03-09T04:24:47.692-07:00Ηmm it loοks like your website ate my first commen...Ηmm it loοks like your website ate my first comment (it was extгemely long) ѕo I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.<br /><br />I as well am an asρirіng blog blogger but I'm still new to everything.

I agree with the general assessment that GPT doesn't go far enough in solving certain problems. But it also seems that it is solving a constrained set of problems: physical disk size, and partition size and quantity limitations. It does those three things and is supported on Mac OS, Windows, and Linux and others.
