IIRC, fdisk will warn about GPT, but when you use 'o' to generate a new partition table, it generates an MBR. If you're going to repartition and reinstall, fdisk will create an MBR partition table. No matter how old or recent it is, by default it should create MBR. Just did it a week ago on my laptop, so unless the behavior has changed in a week, you should be good with fdisk. Alec
