Check if there is a bios_grub partition on a GPT disk - Rescapp - Documentation
Do you actually need a bios_grub partition? Probably not but it depends. A bios_grub partition is usually needed if you use grub-pc on a GPT disk. If your computer has both a GPT disk and EFI boot support, you may be better off trying to install the grub-efi package. If you need to use grub-pc package on a GPT disk after all, this option let's you find if your targeted hard drive has a bios_grub partition or not. If you think that you need to create a bios_grub partition please ask on your distributiona usual support places. An option to help you to create a bios_grub partition is not on the short term Rescatux TODO list.
