I could not get chrome to install without wiping the disk.  I think I
could just regenerate GRUB and I'd be alright.  But that would not
change the fact that the disk was somehow formatted as a GPT, does it?
 How did it get that way?  I do not think it came that way and Ubuntu
would not install that way, would it?
