I think my question was misunderstood - apologies if it wasn't clear.
The purpose was not to have a dual-boot Win/LL system on the old (c.2007) laptop; I have this already, with UEFI enabled, on a more modern laptop.
What I wanted to know was if a multiple-distro booted GPT drive could access shared files on an MBR drive on the same laptop; UEFI doesn't apply here as the laptop is 8 years old.
Kind regards
Mike
