GUID partition table scheme

GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme is a new standard for the layout of the partition table on a hard drive. It is part of the extensible firmware interface (EFI) standard, which is a replacement for the system BIOS.
NOTE It is recommended that you use the GPT partition scheme as it is more flexible, supports larger hard drive sizes, and has some features and recovery mechanisms that are not available in the MBR partition scheme.

For more information about partitions and volumes, see the Partitions and Volumes section at www.technet.microsoft.com. For information about GPT, see the Windows and GPT FAQ section at www.microsoft.com.
