DavidJavid Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Question #1: When I installed PCEFI I used the MBR method, cause at the time I didn't know the benefits of GUID. What's the fastest and easiest way to switch? Question #2: I used Prawker's AMD method to make my DVD, which uses the Toh kernel. Since I'm using PCEFI, can I just install 10.5.1 from software update, get the newest Toh kernel, and then use Marvin's AMD utility? If not, what steps do I need to take? Thanks for any help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idividebyzero Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The fastest and easiest way to change MBR to GUID would of course be the only way to do it, complete repartition of the whole HDD. There is no conversion method, you have to start from scratch since GUID is very different than MBR (GUID creates another 100+mb partition to accompany every other partition on the drive).
