[Bug 1556599] Re: ISO images don't have valid partition tables

[KOLANICH]

** Description changed:

  I have an old PC with non-UEFI BIOS (coreboot is also unavailable for my
  mainboard, the bios is updated to the latest (2008 year) version)
  without GPT support. Some years ago, when support for UEFI and GPT had
  been adopted in linux distros, troubles with booting from usb flash
  drive started. I tried a lot of tools (Rufus, Unetbootin, pendrivelinux,
  dd and startup disk creator), none of them had helped.
  
  If I type
  parted path/to/kubuntu/iso
  and then
  show
- I get a message that GPT table signature is found. If I ask parted to treat it as GPT, it says both gpt tables are corrupt. If I ask parted to treat this as mbbbr, it prints nothing. This could be the cause of non-booting.
+ I get a message that GPT table signature is found. If I ask parted to treat it as GPT, it says both gpt tables are corrupt. If I ask parted to treat this as mbr, it prints nothing. This could be the cause of non-booting.

+ p.s. More fresh versions of parted (e.g. the one included into 16.04) show that there are 2 partitions, one is mac, another is efi, and the table is mac.
