gpt label in parted, partitions look OK. GrUB not booting 64bit OS on 8th primary
Gparted used to size & label partitions for GPT in preparation for installing recent x86-64 releases. Fedora10 installed OK when / (sda9) & /home partitions (sda10) were reformatted ext3 & rebooted. [** /home formatted an additional 2 MB blank space that was @ tail end of HD** was GPT secondary data storage ??**??)]
oSuSE 11.1 (sda2) gave warning irt to GPT disk. Unable to boot Fedora 10 now, partition not exist! fdisk -l useless w/ GPT as it is designed for 'ms-dos' DiskLabelType partitions & shows max of 4 primary partitions
I somehow had a MicrosoftReserved Flag on /home (**) which I decided to clear using Gparted again.
Noted Fedora / had flag 'boot', has option of 'bios-grub ' which I thought of using. No settings in my BIOS irt to various HD partitioning options, lack EFI I think.
Is there anyway with GPT to boot old GrUB (aka Legacy) or must I use the new GrUB2 {v1.96 still in development}???

Reason: PLAYING AROUND WITH GPT, TRYING TO LEARN & MOVE AHEAD, but appear to be going backwards
