Hi,
I just got a new Lenovo 430s with Win7 64bit, this came by default with GPT partition type (UEFI mode)
Now having been always with dual boot Win/Linux I tried OL5.8 just to find out that it can't boot from GPT partition.
I looked around on this forum just to find a few posts of type 'go for the higher version' in order to be able to install into GPT but I can't find the information as to what release if any of unbreakable Linux does support GPT without need to use any tweaks.
Would appreciate much if someone would point me in the right direction.
I have a Win7 CD which does allow me to have Win7 with MBR and install OL5.8 without issues, my HD is not over 2TB, but I thought I may as well go with GPT.

suggests to
1. I would disable Secure Boot and enable SCM (BIOS emulation) in firmware.
2. Insert Linux install media (CD/DVD) and reboot.
3. Select UEFI CD/DVD boot option.
but with OL5.8 I didn't notice the UEFI boot option unless I missed something.
If anybody would care to comment would be great.
Thank you
Anatoliy
