Can I have a GPT partition and MBR partition at the same tim

[Batista230]

Hello all
Been on a few forums
spoke to many that know more then me but can't quite answer my questions

At the moment I have a laptop acer aspire E15 ES1-512-C5YW
Which originally had windows 8.1 installed then windows vista and since lubuntu but now nothing
with O/S on the HDD I would like to install win vista as one partition and lubuntu as another partition
the problem is that vista is a MBR partition table and lubuntu (like win is an GPT partition table

I would like to split the disk into 2 partitions with there own unique tables
But when booting up both O/S disks I only get the option using disk 0 and not one of the partitions I created

Thanks

If you partition the drive as you install Vista so there is enough space free for Linux, then
after Vista is installed you can install Linux - which usually installs the Linux boot manager and
adds Vista to the list, while installing Linux on the free space.
