Thanks,<div><br></div><div>I had to run the disc in rescue mode and run fdisk. This allowed me to create a new partition table in MBR/Legacy mode. This resolved the issue. It was a 500GB disk that previously had FreeBSD on it.<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm having an issue installing AsteriskNOW 2.0.2 on a Dell server. When I<br></div>
go to install it, with BIOS legacy mode for partition tables, I get as far<br>
as setting up the partition tables. However, the installer then informs me<div class="im"><br>
that GPT partition table schemes are required and that I have to resolve<br>
the issue.<br>
<br>
I changed from BIOS/MBR/Legacy mode to GPT/UEFI boot mode but then the<br>
installer fails to install. Upon investigation it seems that this is a<br>
fault of the CentOS installer.<br>

<br>
What makes you think Centos is at fault?<br>

There must be a work around to this issue<br>
since it seems that the partition tables require GPT mode but the installer<br></div>
for the x86_64 disc don't support UEFI mode.o<br>

<br>
How big are your partitions? The only reason Centos requires GPT is if you<br>
have a partition larger than 2TB.<div class="im"><br>

Does anyone know of a work around or solution to this problem?<br>

<br></div>
If your partitions are not over 2 TB then you do not need GPT. The 2TB limit<br>
is not a Centos limitation. It is a limit of the msdos boot block. This also<br>
affects Windoze.<br>
