Drive partitioning

Drive partitioning enables you to divide a hard drive disk space into multiple Virtual Drives (VDs). Each VD is called a partition. There are two types of partition schemes:

  • Master Boot Record scheme
  • GUID Partition Table scheme

The main considerations for selecting between the partition schemes are:

  • Hard drive disk space
  • Operating system version
  • Software installed or to be installed in the operating system
