The only 'UEFI' part of the BIOS Setup is the one I described
earlier:
"UEFI Boot support:
'Enabled': System boots Legacy OS and UEFI OS
'Disabled': System boots Legacy OS only"
It is Disabled, but I don't know yet if the drive has GPT or legacy
partitioning.
So the $64 question is:
If I ask the Mageia-2 DVD.iso installer to install on this drive, will
it only be able to do it if it does *not* have GPT partitions, or -
(if I invite it to take over the whole drive) will it be able to install
if it is GPT, or - if not - will it be able to format the whole drive as
non-GPT and then install?
I kniow that's a lot of questions, but I hope you can see what I'm
getting at!
