Subject: RE: [t13] when MBR != partition table
If you look at the MS partition table documentation you will find a partition type "ee" which indicates that an EFI partition table follows this MBR. It is the EFI partition table that allows for 64 bit entries...

Thanks Andries,
After looking through these many many many
different types of
partitions.......Maybe it's best if
the BIOS folks just continue to support
just the one we
do now rather then open that can marked "WORMS". I wondered
why Curtis was so quiet on this one. Anyway, I think I
still investigate on
the side.
