Ok, I was not sure here.
The Wikipedia article on GUID Partition Table states that Windows only supports
GPT boot when the system is a EFI system and is 64-bit Windows, Vista or newer.
Windows-32 will not boot from a GPT disk.

We do EFI boot differently from Windows, using a PMBR bootstrap. This
means it will work even on a 386 (in principle: I don't really want to
dig out my 386 to check).
