4. GUID Partition Table (GPT) Drives
Introduction
The GUID Partition Table (GPT)
was introduced as
part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
(UEFI) initiative. GPT provides a more flexible way
of partitioning disks compared to the older Master
Boot Record (MBR) scheme.
GPT also allows drives larger than 2TB in capacity
to be bootable. However, GPT can also be used in
drives less than 2TB in capacity.
OmniClone Xi supports cloning GPT drives with
software version 1.7RC52 and newer.
OmniClone Xi can clone an MBR drive to another
drive and the resulting drive will be MBR.
OmniClone Xi can also clone GPT drives to another
drive and the resulting drive will be GPT.
OmniClone Xi does not convert from MBR to GPT
or vice versa.
OmniClone Xi supports GPT with Windows 64-bit
Operating Systems. To clone a GPT drive,
Selective Partitions must be used.
