The GUID consists of details on drives, partitions, storage sizes, boot information, and other essential data related to boot and functionality. The data stored in the GPT header includes drive information in the form of a GUID partition table. MBR Partition Schemeīoot sector location for MBR GPT Partition Scheme Therefore, on GPT, boot information gets stored on LBA 1 while it reserves LBA 0 for MBR compatibility. In GPT technical terms, MBR sector #1 (LBA 1) becomes LBA 0 when using GPT, and GPT becomes sector 1 (LBA 1). However, GPT uses sector two because sector one gets reserved for MBR and BIOS compatibility. GPT uses UEFI firmware versus the BIOS used in MBR, and it also stores disk information, such as partitions, sizes, and other essential data, just like MBR does in sector one. Just like MBR, it also manages the creation and organization of partitions on the SSD/HDD. Next, the MBR activates the drive’s boot sector to launch the OS. The PC’s/motherboard’s basic input/output system (BIOS) looks for the device with an MBR, and then it executes the volume boot code from the partition that has it, which is often the “C:” drive. It also provides proper PC functionality and security protocol for all read/write data transactions. This identifier ensures that the correct drive and partition reads and writes data using several disks.
