With the Professional edition, users are even able to convert a basic MBR (Master Boot Record) partition table to a GUID partition table (GPT; required for UEFI configurations), while dynamic ...

The funky two-partition-scheme voodoo is used to be able to use a GPT and an MBR operating system at the same time. I use it so that I can use the same physical hard disk in both Ubuntu and (in my ...
