#9 GPT Vs MBR Boot Records

The document discusses the differences between a Master Boot Record (MBR) and a Global Partition Table (GPT). An MBR is used by legacy BIOS systems and can support up to 2TB drives with 4 primary partitions. A GPT is newer and supports drives larger than 2TB with more than 128 primary partitions and is used by UEFI BIOS systems.
