You can certainly format a whole disk. I did it, the disk in my laptop doesn't have a partition table at all. The whole disk is one big encrypted filesystem. The laptop boots off of an external USB stick.
- jaclaz 10y agoSure you can, but that disk won't be bootable in UEFI (it may still be in BIOS). The article is about UEFI booting, with parted he checks the partitioning "style", not the actual formatting. >See that Partition table: msdos? This is an MBR/MS-DOS formatted disk. If it was GPT-formatted, that would say gpt.
