The drive is either using MBR or GPT. > maybe protective mbr? "At the start of a GUID Partition Table disk there is a protective Master Boot Record (PMBR) to protect against GPT-unaware software. This protective MBR just like an ordinary MBR has a bootstrap code area which can be used for BIOS/GPT booting with boot loaders that support it." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Partitioning#GUID_Partition_Table I don't understand why a BIOS boot partition is required, when the PMBR has a bootstrap code area which can be used for BIOS/GPT booting".
