Check if there is a bios_grub partition on a GPT disk - Rescapp - Documentation

When a computer is booted in BIOS mode (either because its the only boot mode or because you force legacy boot mode in an UEFI system) grub-pc package is used. The grub-efi package is not used.

If you pretend to install grub-pc package grub into a MBR disk you probably won't have any problem. However if you pretend to install grub-pc package grub into a GPT disk you need to make sure to have a bios_grub partition.

This option lets you check if a given hard disk in your system has the bios_grub partition or not.

If you think that you need to create a bios_grub partition please ask on your distribution usual support places. An option to help you to create a bios_grub partition is not on the short term Rescapp TODO list.

TIP: If you have a recent PC (from 2015 or more recent) stop trying to install your Operating Systems in BIOS mode/Legacy mode and use UEFI mode instead.
