Convert a disk from MBR to GPT+UEFI, in Linux.

Before starting, make sure you have a backup, and make sure to have a linux live boot ready to rescue your system. It's easy to mess this up!

  1. Use gdisk to convert the partition table to GPT.

    gdisk /dev/sda

  2. Create the "BIOS boot" partition that GRUB needs.

    n to create a new partition. Needs to be about 1MB. You can probably squeeze this in from sectors 34-2047. Use L or l to look up the code for "BIOS boot" (ef02).

  3. Write the new partition table.

    w

  4. Reload the partition table. > partprobe /dev/sda
