new install partition confusion [solved]
Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2014 1:02 am
I'm trying to install LMDE and I've decided to delete everything and start fresh. I can create primary partitions, but it will not let me create any extended partitions.
Also, whenever I apply the operations, I get a Libparted Warning saying /dev/sdb contains GPT signatures but does not have a valid fake msdos partition table. It asks if it is a GPT partition table. yes and it says the backup GPT is corrupt but primary is ok.
If I continue with install and assign /dev/sdb as / and install grub, the install completes but the machine will not boot. goes directly to bios.
