linux - HDD appears to have both MBR and GPT

I have an external HDD which appear to have both MBR and GPT. The result is that Windows reads different partitions than Ubuntu and OS X. The GPT seems correct to me (I can access and use the disk fine in Ubuntu and OS X), while the MBR has an old partition table. Is there a way to remove the MBR/fix this issue without wiping the drive?

Output from fdisk -l:

Answer

gdisk (“GPT fdisk”) has a one-step(-ish) option to create a protective MBR.

$ gdisk /dev/sdb
x
n
w

This will:

1. Launch gdisk


2. Enter expert mode


3. “create a new protective MBR”


4. “write table to disk and exit”

It may even detect the problem and offer to fix it right away. You currently have a so-called Hybrid MBR, though it’s out of sync.
