I read in some comments from the forum about an alternative partition system to GPT with the name EMBR that could work with inherited computers and hard disks + 2TB. I am not sure what it is and if there is an operational version. The info in this link says that it is not yet able to write in NTFS and other formats. I don't know if there is another version.
