GPT-MBR goes to the all-your-base meme page. This probably isnt what you wanted.
Line 6 ⟶ 11:
Not just that, this is proprietary to GRUB. It should be listed as "GRUB BIOS Boot partition"; claiming that it is somehow a standard of some kind is not merely nonsense, but it is actively harmful since the whole point of GUIDs is to avoid collisions. This is the GRUB partition, plain and simple. [[Special:Contributions/2601:9:3300:5B:E269:95FF:FE35:9F3C|2601:9:3300:5B:E269:95FF:FE35:9F3C]] ([[User talk:2601:9:3300:5B:E269:95FF:FE35:9F3C|talk]]) 04:17, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Similarly, the practice of squatting on unpartitioned space in MBR partition tables claiming it is somehow "reserved for the bootloader" also is largely a GRUB "standard" (in fact, a number of utilities are known to squat on that space in a highly uncontrolled manner.)

== Hah!IdontNeedEFI confusion regarding endianness ==

The "Hah!IdontNeedEFI" string is correct; further evidence can be seen in [https://twitter.com/gniemeyer/status/766633900084985857 this tweet]. The endianness rules for storing GUIDs in binary form can be seen [https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/openspecification/2013/10/08/guids-and-endianness-endi-an-ne-ssinguid-or-idne-na-en-ssinguid/ in this Microsoft documentation], and those rules are the cause of all the confusion around the Easter Egg embedded in this GUID.

== second stages ==
I find it misleading to talk about second stages, while this is, afaik, in most cases the so called stage 1.5 precding stage 2 in grub . --[[User:Itu|Itu]] ([[User talk:Itu|talk]]) 10:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
== still usable gap with GPT ==
So, there is still a gap with GPT, practically, because of good-practice Alignment (typically 1MB) and this gap may be used with fitting or encompassing Partition or without. But without, it may be even less reliable und undefined as the 63-block MBR-gap. Furthermore with GPT it is not to bold to claim a partition, where in MBR this would have cost 1 of only 4 primary partitions. Just saying/thinking. --[[User:Itu|Itu]] ([[User talk:Itu|talk]]) 10:56, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
== SSD-Drive with GPT, not accessable by XP (sorry), by BIOS I do not know ==
My starting point is knowing only [[Master_boot_record|MBR]]. But without a knowing what is a good workable with superordinate, genus. <br>
Until now meeting GPT (on SSD-Drive) there for me was no necessity to it. <br>
The point: XP and/or BIOS (?, sorry) did not recognize it. <br>
To be able to make it accessable I had to work out, what is it, GPT, and how to get to MBR. <br>
Only [http://www.diskpart.com www.diskpart.com] I could find, with software, to change from GPT to MBR. <br>
Some days after these hourful works I could get an other, much more easyer (instead to have to figure all this out until understanding what has to be done and how and with what (software)) way to do it: [[xfdisk]], by familiar with DOS. Else this ´diskpart´ does it really easy, too, if once found first, this does it. <br>
((xfdisk:) An unknown drive, or partition, is shown, this ´partition´ delete and create a partition again just does it, as told to me by a professionell.) <br>
To let it others know, I just do note it now here. But I cannot do the efforts to look for sources to it now, sorry. But in hope, my works and figuring outs, already may be a help. <br>
Thanks the interesst. <br>

Sorry, found now this: is my comment perhaps better placed there [[GUID_Partition_Table]]? Thanks. <br>
