How to Convert GPT back to MBR
I tried to use GPT to optimize my SSD, but Lenovo won't boot from GPT. As a result, I need to go back to MBR. How do I do it? I was able to use fdisk to make the partitions, but when I finished the installation the flags failed to mount. I think this is because I did not convert back to MBR. Thoughts?

Re: How to Convert GPT back to MBR
If I'm not mistaken, gdisk (GPT fdisk) is able to convert GPT to MBR.

Re: How to Convert GPT back to MBR
I wish I would have seen this sooner. I went ahead and used MBA instead of GPT. If I reinstall again, I will try that.
I solved my problem by using GNU Parted.
