Do you have a UEFI system?

If you can boot to legacy BIOS / DOS or Win9x to run it, it will run and you can access the drives provided the BIOS doesn't prevent it.

However it doesn't know anything about the GPT, so any item that would apply to the first track rather than just the MBR itself could corrupt/remove the GPT (such as remove EMBR option but it shouldn't find an EMBR on a GPT drive). Most of the items only deal with the MBR.

Ok, I am late, thanks (and interesting to know that a Dos/MBR system can do 'something' with a GPT drive!)
