00:00Before understanding MBR and GPT, we first need to understand what disk partitioning means.
00:06A physical storage device, such as an HDD or SSD, can be divided into multiple logical sections called partitions.
00:13For example, a 1TB drive could contain one large partition, or it could be divided into several partitions.
00:21Windows can then treat these partitions as separate volumes.
00:24You might have a C drive for Windows, a D drive for personal files, and additional partitions for recovery or
00:31other purposes.
00:32But the computer needs a system that tells it where these partitions are located and how the disk is organized.
00:38This is where partitioning schemes come in.
00:41MBR and GPT are two different partitioning schemes used to organize the partition information on a disk.
