did you ever install windows...
if you did some of you might have faced a
problem..
windows cant be installed in this drive...
since the drive is MBR/GPT
this is a common problem....
so, Lets fix it...
Hey, what is up guys welcome to AXT...
and you get this error...
about GPT & MBR...
many of you ends up formatting the entire
HDD... instead of one system partition....
so, before you install a fresh windows in
your PC
you need to know some basic things about your
PC
some thing like
is your PC running in Legacy Bios Or UEFI
Bios..
ringing bells...
you have heard about it...
BIOS
you might have seen it somewhere, may be on
your startup screen...
some thing like press f12 for bios setup...
well different computers has different shortcuts
to acess the bios setup...
so, what does it actually means...
BIOS (Basic input/output system) AKA motherboard's
Firmware...
The bios is a code that sits on a flash memory
of your motherboard...
and it links the software to the hardware
so, the BIOS does some very basic things but
those are very important things...
and without it...
you would be never be able to watch AXT videos...
OR you could never get snacks while you play
COD WW2 may be...
i mean you could never be able to turn up
your PC.
so, when you turn on your PC
the first thing that will sprinke up is the
BIOS...
it checks your Settings how you want to run
your PC and then initializes the peripheral
like CPU, RAM, graphics card
and after that the BIOS will run the Power
on Self test, to make sure everything is functioning
correctly...
and once thats done
the BIOS will search for BOOTABLE DEVICE...
means some kind of Drive which has OS installed
in it...
after that OS will boot up and then OS will
take care of the Rest of the things...
now the OLD BIOS system provided a link between
keyboard, mouse, other devices and the OS
well now a days the Modern operating system
take care of every things...
so, once your OS is loaded
your BIOS goes to sleep until next time you
turn on your PC...
so, BIOS is cool Right...
and if you think that,
then my friend you are wrong...
Legacy Bios has serious Limitations...
one of the most Obvious issue was the Drive
support,
a system that a Legacy BIOS uses to access
your HDD or SSD is the Master Boot Record
or MBR file system.
MBR can handle only upto 2TB of storage, and
maximum of 4 primary partitions...
such a limitation...
well that was fine for a long time ago...
but now with the modern HDD, holding way more
storage, its hard to live with it...
this is 2018 and 8K Videos are already here,
and sooner than you think 4K is going to be
the Next standard quality of Video...
and these new advance games are over 70 to
80 gigs...
so, it became obvious to bring some new technology
in the line....
and its the unfied extensible Firmware interface
or UEFI
not only UEFI can handle insanely large amounts
of Drive, hey! we are talking Millions of
peta bytes...
but also it boots up real quick and can use
actual graphical interface..
compeletely with animation and mouse support
so, UEFI uses the GPT system to access your
HDD or SSD...
incase you are wondering GPT stands for GUID
Partition table and GUID stands for Globally
unique identifier...
GPT can easily handle more then 2TB of HDD
size
to be exact it supports upto 7 to 8 zetabyte...
Hard disk...
Holy moly... thats insane...
because thats not even out yet...
can you imagine GPT can handle a HDD of a
Zetabyte...
well it will take several years to invent
a HDD with a 1 zetabyte size
if you don't know what zetabyte is you can
check this...
also you can make 128 primary partition in
a GPT drive...
So, Legacy Bios uses MBR filesystem and UEFI
uses GPT file system...
to switch between this two filesystems MBR
& GPT
you need to format your entire HDD, i mean
you will have to delete all the partitions
and all the files you have stored...
obviously you don't wanna lose your files...
just say i use a HDD which has MBR files system
and i don't wanna loose the files except the
C:/
drive partition, thats where the windows gets
installed...
since its MBR so, you know that you need to
boot it in the legacy BIOS mode
and before you do that you need to make your
flash drive Bootable...
you can use this software called RUFUS...
i will leave the links in the Description
for this...
so, in rufus you need to select your USB drive
and in the partition scheme... i need to select
the first one...
cause my HHD file system is MBR... also my
motherboard has both of them LEGACY BIOS & UEFI
incase you don't have UEFI but only the BIOS...
dont worry, Rufus will detect and give you
options...
so, after that select the iso file... and
click start
when every thing is hunky DORY...
insert the flash drive and turn up your boot
menu...
and you need to select your flash drive
in my case i need to select the LEGACY BIOS
mode... not the UEFI
once you do that windows will never give you
that error! again...
