CAUSE

GPT (Globally Unique Identifier Partition Table) is a new partitioning standard that allows the use of drives over 2TB and up to 128 partitions. It is not native on older equipment that do not support UEFI. The reimaging process will fail to load if you have formatted the USB media using GPT.
