Are you ready? Let's read!

What is GPT?

GPT (GUID Partition Table) is one of the elements of UEFI.

Its main function is based on measuring the start and endpoints of each section.

In fact, this is the same as the ICBM, only in BIOS.

At the same time, the GPT is a more advanced method with many sophisticated options.

It's hard to believe, but the number of partitions in one disk can reach 264, and a disk with GPT has a built-in multi-loader.

It should be noted that GPT is built into Windows since Vista.

What is a hybrid MBR?

Some disk utilities can create a hybrid MBR that, in addition to the EFI GPT partition, can point to three or fewer MBR partitions.

Hybrid boot records allow you to install operating systems that cannot work within a disk with GPT partitions. It is easy to show in old versions of Windows (before Windows Vista); however, it is worth noting that such a partition table is non-standard, and rarely used in practice; so few specialists are properly trained in it.

What happens to data if GPT is damaged?

Here the answer is unequivocal: the data will not be available.

Use DiskInternals Partition Recovery to recover data.

This is the only effective way.

Partition Recovery will restore absolutely all types of files and any data, up to 1 Pb, without delay and without any questions.

No additional training is required to use this application, as the Recovery Wizard will accompany you from start to finish.

Any file system can be handled by the program, as well as any cause of data corruption.

Free viewing of the information found will surely please even the most scrupulous users. And as soon as you are ready for data export, buy a license for the application.
