MBR Details versus GPT Details (BIU)
Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2019 8:07 am
Although I have a lot of experience using BIBM and even BING, I'm preparing myself for using BIU by studying the manual, but I have some questions now.
When I look at BIU's Boot Menu configuration dialog, then I see a clear difference between the MBR Details and the GPT Details. Where the MBR Details part has buttons for adding, removing and changing the order of partitions, the GPT Details part hasn't. Do I understand it correctly that the GPT Details part always shows all partitions and that you can only hide or unhide them? So if I hide a partition in the GPT Details part, then it still remains visible in this part, but the operating system won't see it? What will the operating system see then if I hided a partition in the GPT Details part, unpartitioned space or a partition that is supposed to be ignored? (With BIBM I never hided partitions; I simply didn't put any partitions in the MBR that I didn't want to be seen by the operating system.)
