that I should select "Set active Flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition" Why???
it's where the system looks for boot manager when there is none in the mbr
Active flag is relevant only when set on a primary partition and the MBR code is standard legacy PC BIOS compatible or equivalent (standard/generic boot code). Standard MBR code searches for a primary partition with its active flag set. If if finds more than one primary with its active flag set it gives a boot error. If if finds only one it relinquishes control to that partition's boot sector. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
