I want to keep the gpt format on a new partition. And currently it seems impossible to do that, even with several reinstalls and different methods.
Here is what I want to do:
I want to install win 2012 without a CMS BIOS, meaning I want to use its UEFI booting capabilities to avoid the bios emulation that bootcamp uses.
Already tried methods:
1) simple partiton via disk utility and diskutil using FAT
Result: Failure to detect GPT in win 2012 install -
2) Same as 1 using HFS+
Result: thinking that when I format for fat it creates a hybrid gpt partition, resulting in the aforementioned error, it still doesnt let me install due to failure to detect gpt.
Im out of ideas, I read in a mac magazine in brazil that it was a simple thing to do, currently thinking of making the partitions that I need when installing osx using disk utility, so that it avoids the hybrid gpt.
Or this could be caused by mac using already a hybrid gpt as default and in the end I will need a program to make a true gpt.
Currently I foresee a problem, I dont know if the EFI bootloader would accept and read the windows partition, since it engages when a hybrid gpt is made
I also foresee that if this is done, we could have switchable gpus in windows.
