gdisk and cgdisk handle only GPT. For DOS/MBR, you'll need another
program such as fdisk or (g)parted.
How about partitioning a new disk using the installer itself - would
that work?
Well, yes, but the point of this thread is to not reinstall but transfer
the existing system to the new disk. The installer in rescue mode is
used to boot on the new UEFI machine only after the transfer and install
the GRUB EFI boot loader, which cannot be done on the old non-UEFI
machine (actually it could, if installing GRUB into the removable media
path).
