6 Most versions of Windows cannot boot from a GPT disk on BIOS-based
12 GPT fdisk on a BIOS-mode boot disk, or perhaps even on a data disk, you may
13 find recovery to be very difficult! Pre-installed Windows 8 and later
15 self-installed Windows 8 systems sometimes use BIOS mode. This caveat does
23 the software. I originally wrote GPT fdisk on Linux, and some Linux- and
24 Unix-centric language remains in the documentation.

34 Beginning with version 0.8.10, I'm distributing both 32-bit and 64-bit
35 binaries, which include the strings "32" or "64" in their names. The 32-bit
36 binaries work fine on most versions of Windows, but some 64-bit
37 installations of Windows 8 lack 32-bit support libraries and so may need
38 the 64-bit binaries.
53 do this, locate the Command Prompt program icon, right-click it, and select
54 "Run as Administrator." If you use a non-Administrator Command Prompt, you
55 won't be able to edit hard disk partition tables, although you will be able
56 to edit raw disk image files.
58 The program requires a hard disk identifier as an option. You can specify
65 on the first disk. The second way to specify a disk device is via a
66 harder-to-remember name:
70 This command is equivalent to the earlier one -- it edits the partition
71 table on the first physical disk. Change the number at the end of the
72 device name to change the disk edited.
74 If you pass the "-l" option to gdisk64.exe in addition to the disk
76 then exits. (Alternatively, you can pass "-p" to sgdisk64.exe.) This use
78 the disk when used in this way.
80 As noted above, editing the first disk with GPT fdisk is a Bad Idea on older
81 BIOS-based computers. Newer computers typically use an Extensible Firmware
82 Interface (EFI) and boot from GPT disks. It's safer to edit non-boot disks,
