I have an older laptop (c.2007) with two separate physical drives (both formatted as MBR): sda contains my OSes (LL/Win7 dual-boot); sdb contains /mnt/DATA for file-sharing between the OSes.
However, I would like to partition sda as a GPT partitioned drive. Of course I will no longer be able to run Windows OS on it (except as a virtual machine), but the purpose is to use sda to showcase a number of different distros to interested parties.
Question...
If I have my OSes on GPT-formatted sda, will I still be able to symlink with files on the MBR-formatted sdb, or will symlinking only work if both drives are GPT-only, or both drives are MBR-only, rather than a 'mixed' system?
Many thanks for any help on this one.
Regards
Mike
