I know that it is not required an efi partiton to boot the os with

I guarantee that some smart geek here will know how to do it, though

may need to search around for the appropriate forum:

BTW, why do you want to use gpt on a laptop?
I assumed it was a MacBook or a Hackintosh.
I'm sure I've seen a Sony laptop running Vista that had an EFI boot. I assume
that this means it also had a GPT partition system?
Hm. The major benefit of GPT (IIUC) is support for >2TB partitions,
AFAIK most laptops don't (yet) have 2TB disks, which is why Vista is a poor
choice for laptops. Vista needs most of a terabyte after installing all the
bug fixes and service packs -- and then you might want to consider installing
some programs. It adds up fast!
