hi

I have plans to install another distro but do not want to lose(for anything in the world) openS ... how I do if I say I install Arch? should I install grub or not? MBR on sda4 or not??

gdisk:

Code:

# gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.should

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.

Command (? for help): ?
b      back up GPT data to a file
c      change a partition's name
d      delete a partition
i      show detailed information on a partition
l      list known partition types
n      add a new partition
o      create a new empty GUID partition table (GPT)
p      print the partition table
q      quit without saving changes
r      recovery and transformation options (experts only)
s      sort partitions
t      change a partition's type code
v      verify disk
w      write table to disk and exit
x      extra functionality (experts only)
?      print this menu

fdisk -l:

Code:

# fdisk -l
WARNING: fdisk GPT support is currently new, and therefore in an experimental phase. Use at your own discretion.

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes, 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk label type: gpt


#        Start          End    Size  Type            Name
 1        2048        43007    20M  Microsoft basic
 2        43008      555007    250M  Microsoft basic
