Sounds good. What I did not find - maybe I'm not too deep in this topic - will
the classic BIOS boot find a proper classic partition table? Or will it find
only the GPT? The oldest system we have in operation has a AMI BIOS dated 2004 -
will it be able to handle the GPT or do I need further modifications?
(I'll have the answer at last next week after trying it out :-))

Best regards,
