Why does the error show during boot-repair? FYI: My external HDD size 4TiB.

ERROR: unsupported sector size 4096 on

I have my machine which shows as:

IT's NOT EFI instead BIOS Bootable:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ efibootmgr
EFI variables are not supported on this system.

I have followed this article about BIOS-GPT Linux partioning process. The blogger confirms about possibilities of such installation in GPT Partitioned disk using BIOS based machine.

I have tried BIOS-GPT (option 1 and 3). None of those options worked to boot linux alongside with another OS (Win7) installed before in internal HDD.

The boot-repair tools gives the following result:

Both options shows:

=============================== StdErr Messages ================================

ERROR: unsupported sector size 4096 on /dev/sdc. ERROR: unsupported sector size 4096 on /dev/sdc.

Pastebin URLs: Option 1
