    Is possible to install MS-DOS to GPT disk?
    « on: September 20, 2018, 04:32:22 AM »
    Hi!

    I need to use GPT disk instead MBR.
    I want to have there installed MS-DOS 7.10.

    Is possible to install this MS-DOS to GPT disk?
    Or will installation work after conversion from MBR to GPT disk work?

    I don't need and want not use UEFI. It will boot from BIOS... so, here's also Q if will XP work on GPT disk...

    Thank you for your help.

    Drives partitioned via GPT can only be booted via a UEFI BIOS and the Operating systems have to support UEFI.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
