707 - Added check for overlapping MBR partitions to verify function (gdisk "v"
709 multiple MBR 0xEE partitions (causes problems in some OSes).
711 - Added check to GPT-to-MBR and hybrid MBR creation options to prevent
714 creating MBR!" When attempting to create a hybrid MBR with duplicates,
717 MBR form.
731 - Fixed bug that caused creation of hybrid MBR to wipe out the MBR's boot
745 - Fixed major bug in hybrid MBR creation, which caused incorrect
781 to recompute all protective/hybrid MBR CHS values. This option is
784 0xFFFFFF CHS value is used as the end point for a protective MBR. The
793 - Undid earlier change, with version 0.6.4, that wiped the MBR boot loader
794 when doing MBR-to-GPT conversions. I've now become skeptical that MBR
856 GPT-to-MBR conversion. This feature is limited by the fact that at least
859 possible to convert back to MBR any disk that started that way, provided
885 - Fixed bug in computation of CHS geometries for protective MBR. This is
910 disks to MBR format, with a limit of four partitions total, and of course
920 - Changed the code to create a new MBR unique disk signature whenever a new
921 protective MBR is generated (when doing an MBR-to-GPT conversion, when
924 the existing MBR disk signature in most cases, but this resulted in
933 - Added code to clear the MBR boot loader when doing an MBR-to-GPT
936 some MBR boot loaders freak out and hang the system when they encounter
938 in what is now GPT territory, causing a system hang. Since MBR boot

952 different lengths in MBR vs. GPT.

1005 MBR was invalid and the GPT was damaged and the user opts to try to
1045 - Fixed bug that caused the convert to MBR function to fail.
1105 - Added GPT-to-MBR conversion function. It's very limited, but potentially
1119 - Added ability to re-load the MBR and generate a fresh GPT from it. This

1291 the GPT data structures itself when you create a new MBR ["msdos
1295 blanks out the protective MBR, as well as the GPT data.
1325 - Fixed minor bug in CHS geometry of the protective MBR's type EE partition
1327 Should be a non-critical bug since the protective MBR partition
1328 definition is only there to keep MBR-only disk utilities from messing
