Because you yourself are _not_ familiar either. If anything, you're making a case for when a GPT disk label is created/wiped. Ergo ... > About the MSR specifically: > a.

[2] The "Basic Data Partition" = C: partition, _not_ "System" partition. It's the _3rd_ partition, after the System and Reserved. [7] [8] [10] Again, you're making my point for me. There is mass ignorance out there, of even the "Reserved" partition itself, let alone where Microsoft creates it. You just literally told me _wrong_. ;) I've done hundreds upon hundreds of multi-boot uEFI installs. It's _exactly_ this type of "unfamiliarity" I'm trying to _deal_ with. It's _rampant_, and the Anaconda installer could offer a _single_ checkbox to maximize compatibility. If you don't believe me, install Windows 8 or 10 x64 and see what it creates for itself. Whether MBR or GPT, you will _always_ get a "System" partition before the "Windows" partition, and if it's GPT, there will be the "Reserved" partition between them. -- bjs [7] https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301(v=ws.10).aspx [8] https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825686.aspx [10] https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn898510(v=vs.85).aspx -- Bryan J Smith - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith E-mail: b.j.smith at ieee.org or me at bjsmith.me _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
