I currently have a Core 2 Quad system that has a BIOS (NOT a UEFI, who ever heard of those back in the Core2Quad era?) and I want to use GPT. I would like to have more than 4 partitions, (maybe just for the heck of it, maybe because I think it would be awesome to have a 7-way multiboot) which is impossible with MBR, but I don't want to lose any of my data, and I still want Windows 8 to work.
Can a BIOS-GPT configuration exist? If so, will Windows 8 boot and function in a BIOS-GPT setup? And would I be able to transfer my current windows 8 installatoin to the new setup, or would I have to reinstall?
Feel free to tell me I don't need this, because I don't. If this can't work, then I will continue to live life normally. This is just a crazy idea that if it works, would be absolutely awesome.
