Yes, so that must be it then. I won't be switching, can't reformat these drives

That's a lot of backup... More backup than space I have available. I can convert to gpt, just not sure if it's worth it.

How about you install xbmcbuntu to a usb drive and boot from it? Thats seems a reasonable trade. As long as the you create a persistent partition on the usb, the settings/configs to linux/xbmc wont be lost.

To install something to a HDD and To mount said HDD in Linux for being used, is not the same problem.
