A broken backup GPT is not supposed to stop EFI from finding its partition and running its architecture specific start-up program. But it becomes annoying when another partition shall be created for a read-write filesystem to carry the user's extra data. (With Debian and Fedora ISOs it's even worse. They carry a MBR partition table and GPT header blocks, which are tehrfore invalid. One has to zap them before letting fdisk create a new MBR partition.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
