Can I have a GPT partition and MBR partition at the same time

Hello all
Been on a few forums
spoke to many that know more then me but can't quite answer my questions
So this looks like a very out date web page forum with recent activity so though I might find someone on hear that understands a bit about the command prompts

At the moment I have a laptop acer aspire E15 ES1-512-C5YW
Which originally had windows 8.1 installed then windows vista and since lubuntu but now nothing
with O/S on the HDD I would like to install win vista as one partition and lubuntu as another partition
the problem is that vista is a MBR partition table and lubuntu (like win 8) is an GPT partition table

I would like to split the disk into 2 partitions with there own unique tables
But when booting up both O/S disks I only get the option using disk 0 and not one of the partitions I created

PS I looked at the easy dos commands page on this site and found no Diskpart or list disk
