Disk Partitioning | MBR vs GPT | Explained

1. MBR Partition Style: (Master Boot Record) is used with old operating systems. Primary Partition: o A primary partition is in which an Operating System can be installed. o One MBR hard disk may contain a maximum of 4 primary partitions. o Any one of the 4 primary partitions can be set as active partition. o Since there can be 4 primary partitions with 4 different Operating Systems installed, one of the partitions that is marked "active" is used for the initial booting. Extended Partition: o A MBR hard disk may contain only one extended partition o That one extended partition can be subdivided into multiple logical partitions. o Logical partitions inside an extended partition are not bootable 2. GPT Partition Style: • It is a new standard that is gradually replacing MBR. • It is called GUID Partition Table because every partition on your drive will have a “globally unique identifier” • Windows allows up to 128 partitions on a GPT disk • To convert a MBR disk to GPT, select "UEFI" as boot mode in BIOS and disable "Secure Boot", then install the OS • No need for extended partitions or logical drives
