Hi.

I installed centos 6.2, and the installation make the schema GPT.
I need to change it to MBR.

I have to virtualize this phisical machine, but GPT schema is not supported.

Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards.

Hi, this seems to be a bug in centos 6.2 which can be followed up here:

It appears that the problem is more about EFI boot than about GPT/MBR. There should be an MBR emulation mode for GPT, not sure but heard about it.
