<div dir="ltr">I was kinda oopy last night (I didn't google a solution to how to fix it ) but I just did and found out how to set the partition table. But which should I choose? I've heard gpt mentioned but am unsure. Could I hear some opinions from the learnED here?</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 16, 2023 at 9:29 PM Michael <<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com">bmike1@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">in my other thread I looked at a gparted report.
