Do you learn about GPT?
GUIDPartition Table(GPT) refers to the unique identifier partition table.
Therefore, MBR is able to support 16 TB.
As of 2010, most operating systems support GPT.
Feature
In MBR hard disk, the partitioning information is stored in the master boot record.
In a GPT, the location information of partition tables is stored in the GPT header.
Apple Inc. had warned that hey do not assume that all blocks are 512 bytes.
Macintoshes which employ Intel-based structures also use GPT.
Furthermore, there is a copy of partition table at the end of GPT disk.
And users cannot copy the whole GPT disk, thus ensuring data security.
After conversion, they can install operating system.
This sector is referred to as a protective MBR.
But, after booting, the OS can only manipulate MBR partition.
Boot Camp uses this way to boot Windows.
