Hello,
Using BIBM to change disk type to GPT, automatically a Microsoft reserved partition is created.
What's up with that??
What if i just want to install OS's other than microsoft's or, use the disk for data?
What's the purpose of this partition and can i delete it without consequence?
Thanks

Re: GPT Disks
It's a required partition.

OK, thanks Paul,
I read the link you provided and can see the necessity of this partition.
However, why the reference to Microsoft? Why not call it Linux Reserved Partition?

Re: GPT Disks
You can delete it if you don't want it but there are MS OSes versions which
won't see the partitions if there is no MSR on a GPT partitioned drive.
