Comment 19 for bug 107326

This bug was fixed in the package parted - 1.7.1-5.1ubuntu9

---------------
parted (1.7.1-5.1ubuntu9) hardy; urgency=low

  * gptsync.dpatch: Only write a synced legacy MBR on Apple systems;
    otherwise, write a protective MBR per the EFI standard (LP: #107326).
    This behaviour may be overridden by setting the environment variable
    PARTED_GPT_APPLE to 1 (always write synced legacy MBR) or 0 (always
    write protective MBR).
