Issue/Introduction

Do you support ’Protective MBR’ in GSS (Ghost Solution Suite?

Environment

GSS 3.3 RUx

Cause

Currently Ghost does not support GPT disks with a Protective MBR.

Resolution

Currently (as GSS 3.3 RU12), GSS doesn't support "Protective MBR". This feature will be on the "short list" of features considered for inclusion in the next GSS release, but we likely will not start work on the next GSS release for several months. No ETA for a near future.

As per KB 271184 below, Ghost does NOT support GPT disks with a Protective MBR whose partition type is 'EE'. It was based on Acer PC.
- Diskpart sees 4 partitions on the drive, Ghost only sees one partition with a partition ID of EE
