    Running Gdisk on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks reports a protective MBR, which is normally for GPT. However when booting into Ubuntu, it detects it as Hybrid. Now that isn't an issue except I am planning on adding a Windows(Boot camp) partition. Would I have any issues doing so?

    I sent a text to tech support at apple and learned that the maverick software is not compatible with windows 8.1 yet. They claim to be working on it
