Sorry for corrupted this mailing list thread view, kinda new with this,

The laptop bios is Phoniex SecureCore Tiano, I don't see "Legacy USB" option,
Bios Main page,

Quite Boot : [Disabled]
Network Boot : [Disabled]
F12 Boot Menu: [Enabled]
D2D Recovery: [Disabled]
Wake on Lan: [Disabled]
SATA Mode: [AHCI Mode] or [IDE Mode]

If the issue is GPT and MBR, I am quite sure this laptop BIOS doesn't support GPT disk type, because OEM Acer only gave GPT supported BIOS for model that pre-loaded with Windows 8.
