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.

Famous quotes containing the words creating and/or boot:
“Inaction, letting be, neither creating nor destroying—that is my evil. And also the knower as one without desire.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“... until the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes,
and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
