Code: Select all

Disk label type: gpt

Sorry, no idea, those values look like they should work to me: sectors 430610432 to 451581951
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Do you think the fdisk process will work if I boot CentOS from an external USB? I did create a CentOS 7 Live USB.
