The MBR and GPT are both the partition schemes hard disks .In order to use a Hard disk it must have a partition scheme configu red. Partition schemes are essential to divide the hard disk into different partitio ns. MBR stands for Master Boot record. The MBR partition scheme was first introduced in 1983 with PC DOS 2.0. MBR allows  hard disk to be divided into Four primary partit ions. These four partitions can also be further broken into extended or logical partitions.MBR scheme can be used on a hard drive having space not more than 2TB . If the hard disk with space more than 2TB is used then 2TB space will be used and further space will be useless . MBR scheme supports both BIOS (Basic Input Output System) and UEFI(Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) . The reason behind these limitations is : BIOS systems with MBR disks use 32-bit values to describe the starting offset and length of a partition. Due to this size limit, MBR allows a maximum disk size of approximate...
