Creating A BIOS Boot Partition
A BIOS Boot partition can be created using any of several different disk utilities:
- In GParted, create a partition (an unformatted one works fine), then right-click it and select Manage Flags. Check the bios_grub flag, click Close, and apply your changes (some versions of GParted will not allow you to set a flag on an unformatted partition; in this case format the partition to FAT16 then set the bios_grub flag).
- In GNU Parted (
parted), create a partition, then type set 1 bios_grub on, changing 1 to the number of the partition you want to mark as a BIOS Boot partition. - In GPT fdisk (
gdisk), create a partition and give it a type code of EF02.
