MBR disk uses a master boot record disk partition system which contains a master boot record (MBR for short)

MBR disk uses a master boot record disk partition system which contains a master boot record (MBR for short). MBR includes operating system boot code, master partition table and exit code. Master partition table is used to record some basic information of disk partition and boot operating system to help users find desired partition. MBR disk supports 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition, and the biggest partition size can reach 2TB. MBR is the most widely-used disk type, and also the default type of newly-added disk under Windows operating system. When you mount a new disk in Windows operating system, Windows operating system will guide you to initialize new disk to MBR disk. However, what if we mount an initialized GPT disk and we want to initialize GPT to MBR? There are two common ways to initialize GPT disk to MBR disk. That is to use Disk Management Tool and the third-party partition magic like MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Initialize GPT disk to MBR disk with Disk Management Tool
Take Windows Server 2003 for example, I will initialize GPT disk to MBR disk with Disk Management Tool (Utility) below:
1. Click "start".
2. Select "My Computer" on pop-up menu and right click.
3. Click "Management" on pop-up menu.
4. On the computer management interface, click "Disk Management" on the left storage unit to see interface below:



5. Delete all partitions on GPT disk.



6. After that, select GPT disk and right click, and then click "Convert to MBR Disk" on pop-up menu.



Performing steps above, we will initialize GPT disk to MBR disk on Windows Server 2003. Because Disk Management Tool of Windows Server 2003 only can delete partition one by one, it's troublesome if you have many partitions.
Note: Because deleting partition will cause partition data loss, please back up data before deleting GPT disk partition.

Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to initialize GPT disk to MBR disk
MiniTool Partition Wizard is a piece of professional partition magic software. In order to use it to initialize GPT disk to MBR disk, please visit its official website http://www.partitionwizard.com/ to download it and. Install it to the disk partition not to be operated, and then run MiniTool Partition Wizard to see its main interface:



Please choose the desired GPT disk on the disk partition list, and then click "Delete All Partitions" on action panel. The following interface will appear:



On this interface, choose the GPT disk which will be initialized to MBR disk, and then click "Initialize to MBR Disk" on action panel. And click "Apply" to perform all previous operations. After that, you will initialize GPT disk to MBR disk.

When users use MiniTool Partition Wizard to initialize GPT disk to MBR disk, the software provides preview in the whole process. Once you find accidental operations, you can use "Undo" to repeal it.

From earliest DOS formatting command to current various types of partition formatting tools

From earliest DOS formatting command to current various types of partition formatting tools, formatting partitions has become concrete graphic interface from abstract text interface. With the unceasing updates of operating systems, more and more users are unfamiliar with DOS operating system, and most users are likely to format partitions by using partition formatting tool with graphic interface. Of course, there are also some users who think DOS command is the best method for formatting partitions. Well then, which is the better method for formatting partitions between DOS command and graphic interface tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard? Next, let's make a detailed comparison between them.

Formatting partitions with DOS command and formatting partitions with graphic interface tool
As computer users get a further understanding of formatting partitions, many of them format partitions not only for clearing away data in the partition but also for resetting file system and readjusting cluster size. For the above functions, they can be realized by using both DOS command and partition tool with graphic interface. However, methods are different.



The first interface is the very interface under DOS command. A:\>format c:/s is the very command used to format C: partition. Among this command, /s is the concrete parameter in the process of formatting partitions. If we want to adjust file system or cluster size through formatting partitions, we must input other corresponding parameters. Besides, we only can use keyboard to accomplish formatting partitions under DOS environment.



The second interface is the very interface where we use MiniTool Partition Wizard to format partitions. From this interface, we can learn about formatting functions of this graphic interface tool intuitively, mainly including Modify partition name, Convert file system, and Adjust cluster size. Formatting partitions with graphic interface tool is very easy, and we only need to click mouse.

According to the above comparison, we find both of the above methods have the function of formatting partitions. Although DOS can help users accomplish some rarely used settings, the commands are so complicated and its applicability is not high. In our daily life, only with the formatting function of MiniTool Partition Wizard can we format partitions satisfyingly.

Pay attention to selecting partition formatting tool
As we know there are much many partition formatting tools in the market, and much of partition management software has the functions of formatting partitions. Besides, there is individual-function software designed for formatting partitions. Therefore, we have so many choices, and it is difficult for us to select an excellent partition formatting tool. After all, some of them are inferior partition formatting tools, and inferior tool may lead to many problems:

1. Data in one partition are emptied and the partition is also damaged at the same time after formatting it. Repeating formatting is unable to make the partition normal.
2. Some users try converting file system and adjusting cluster size by formatting the partition, but partition properties do not change after formatting.
3. The partition is shrunk after formatted.

All these problems are common in the process of formatting partitions. Thus it can be seen, if we do not select an outstanding partition formatting tool, formatting operations will become much troublesome although it is easy to format partitions with partition formatting tool. The formatting function of MiniTool Partition Wizard can help us clear up all obstructs in the process of formatting partitions, thereby helping us accomplish partition formatting successfully.

Note: Converting file system and adjusting cluster size by formatting partitions is not a good solution. MiniTool Partition Wizard provides users with Convert FAT to NTFS and Change cluster size without data loss.
