Bug ID: 510558
Summary: MBR 2TB limit and suggest GPT auto-handling for large
drives
Classification: Applications
Product: isoimagewriter
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
I have a 2.1TB USB stick and using the installed 'Start-up disk creator' on
Kubuntu, I am able to create a new startup disk for either 25.04.and 25.10,
however upon trying to boot from the USB, I receive several errors - (Startup
disk creator - does not allow me to see the version of the software that I am
using, however I am using Kubuntu 25.04)
Error file to found. Error invalid magic number. Error you need to load the
kernel first. Press any key to continue.
I have tried using the Gnome equivalent, however this also fails, finally I
tried ventoy - however this fails during the installation - I had to change
boot style to GPT rather then MBR and also allocate 500GB at the end of the
disk to successfully install.
Working this through with Grok - it suggests that I file a bug to suggest GPT
auto-handling for large drives.
Thanks
