  | I don't believe GPT is supported on the system in question.

If you're referring to old OS installations, you might be
right, without knowing the versions no-one could say (and
I couldn't in any case for linux).

But if you are referring to the hardware and BIOS, then it
will not care, GPT was designed to be sufficiently backwards
compatible with that that it should all jyst work. You need
OSs and boot code that understands GPT, but that's just
software.   All the BIOS needs is an MBR and GPT retains
that, and boot boot code installed in it which can handle
the actual OS finding and loading, you can install a GPT
version of that.
