GPT(GUID Partition Table) problem during the linux installation on CentOS5.6

During the installation process of CentOS 5.6 one can face following error

Error: - "Your boot partition is on a disk using the GPT partitioning scheme but this machine cannot boot using GPT".

Reason:- This error mainly arises in the event where the total disk size is more than 2TB, irrespective of the primary partition disk.

Solution:-Enter the rescue mode and delete the MBR on the disk as below:-

#  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1

Reinstall the system again and it should work right.
