    MBR GPT Cheatsheet

    Uploaded by

    zekuelbouzrazi
    The document describes the Master Boot Record (MBR) and GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk formats. The MBR resides in sector 0 and includes a boot code and partition table. Partitions are identified by type codes. The GPT replaces the MBR for disks over 2TB and includes a protective MBR, two copies of the GUID partition table, and unique partition identifiers. Common operating system partition types and their identifiers are listed for both MBR and GPT.

    2. Ending LBA sector, if value is too large for 1-byte 0xFF is used.
