I had bought a new notebook (Medion AKOYA E7223 MD 98462) with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on the internal 500 GB SATA HDD. It is a GPT/UEFI installation with six partitions.
I then bought and installed a 250 GB SAMSUNG SSD into the notebook and put BIBM, a Win7 64-Bit Prof, and a LinuxMint on it.
The GPT HDD is not recognized by BIBM.
SETNUMHD could not correct the situation as can be seen in my BIBM forum thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1928.
My SETNUMHD efforts are described there starting on Page 5, 1st TB Support Posting of August 18, 2015 and ending on Page 6 with the last TB Support Posting of August 22, 2015

It would be extraordinarily useful if one could refer to a specific posting by means of a posting number [#1, #2 etc.]. Couldn't you have your forum software changed accordingly?)

The most concise presentation of what I have done wrt SETNUMHD is contained in the Attachment to the last posting on Page 5.
Since SETNUMHD cannot help me I tried to use TBOSDTS for GPT to MBR conversion in order for BIBM to see my converted MBR SATA HDD.
You can see my efforts in the Attachment. The command contained therein is taken from Page 16 of the "TeraByte OS Deployment Tool User Manual", reading:
"Install MBR code to a physical hard drive, or to a hard drive image file
SET MBR CODE 1.....................................install standard MBR code on physical hard drive HD1"
When starting the command, it immediately ended at the TBOSDTS\win prompt without noticeable reaction time or confirmation. Anyway, the result is still a GPT SATA HDD.
Have I made a mistake? What can I do now?
