1067 error on attempt to start MySQL

If you are trying to run MySql on a Windows 10 installation with a GPT partition, please try this:

Todays systems are often running on a disk which is formatted in GPT. This is because Windows 10 needs such a partition to be installed. The problem is that MySql cant deal with this partition style and so it crashes. Here is my workaround:

• Create a virtual disk: manual here
• Format this VHD with MBR
• Install MySql custom on your new VHD (dont forget to create a user for DB)

This should be it! :)
