x86 images.


I'm no expert on GPT but doesn't GPT also store some things at the end of the disk too?

The reason i ask is because I'm sure i once ran into problems with that when changing from GPT to MBR using tools that wasn't fully GPT aware and knew how to clear GPT. i think i ended up with an MBR partition layout but with GPT leftovers and some tools complained.
