MBR disk: An MBR disk supports a maximum of 2TB. If a disk larger than 2TB is in MBR format, the disk capacity is wasted. Therefore, GPT is recommended. GPT disk: If a disk is larger than 2TB or you need to install the system to the disk and use UEFI mode to boot, it is recommended to choose the GPT format to rebuild the MBR for this disk: If there is an MBR-based boot manager on the disk and you still need to keep it, do not check this option.

You can choose between NTFS and FAT32 file systems. FAT32 does not support partitions larger than 2TB, nor does it support the storage of single files larger than 4GB, FAT32 compatibility is better. NTFS is more stable and secure. It supports partitions larger than 2TB and individual files larger than 4GB. Generally, you are advised to select the NTFS file system.

If more than four partitions are created, a maximum of three partitions can be set as primary partitions. If you select a GPT disk, this parameter cannot be selected because the GPT disk does not have a primary logical partition scheme
