How to Know if Your System Uses MBR or GPT Partitioning [on Windows and Linux]
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Knowing the correct partitioning scheme of your disk could be crucial when you are installing Linux or any other operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two popular partitioning schemes; the older MBR and the newer GPT. Most computers use GPT these days.
|
||||
|
||||
While creating the live or bootable USB, some tools (like [Rufus][1]) ask you the type of disk partitioning in use. If you choose GPT with an MBR disk, the bootable USB might not work.
|
||||
|
||||
In this tutorial, I’ll show various methods to check the disk partitioning scheme on Windows and Linux systems.
|
||||
|
||||
### Check whether your system uses MBR or GPT on Windows systems
|
||||
|
||||
While there are several ways to check the disk partitioning scheme in Windows including command line ones, I’ll stick with the GUI methods.
|
||||
|
||||
Press the Windows button and search for ‘disk’ and then click on “**Create and format disk partitions**“.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
In here, **right-click on the disk** for which you want to check the partitioning scheme. In the right-click context menu, **select Properties**.
|
||||
|
||||
![Right click on the disk and select properties][3]
|
||||
|
||||
In the Properties, go to **Volumes** tab and look for **Partition style**.
|
||||
|
||||
![In Volumes tab, look for Partition style][4]
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see in the screenshot above, the disk is using GPT partitioning scheme. For some other systems, it could show MBR or MSDOS partitioning scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
Now you know how to check disk partitioning scheme in Windows. In the next section, you’ll learn to do the same in Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
### Check whether your system uses MBR or GPT on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to check whether a disk uses MBR or GPT partitioning scheme in Linux as well. This includes commands and GUI tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Let me first show the command line method and then I’ll show a couple of GUI methods.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Check disk partitioning scheme in Linux command line
|
||||
|
||||
The command line method should work on all Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Open a terminal and use the following command with sudo:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo parted -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above command is actually a CLI-based [partitioning manager in Linux][5]. With the option -l, it lists the disks on your system along with the details about those disks. It includes partitioning scheme information.
|
||||
|
||||
In the output, look for the line starting with **Partition Table**:
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
In the above screenshot, the disk has GPT partitioning scheme. For **MBR**, it would show **msdos**.
|
||||
|
||||
You learned the command line way. But if you are not comfortable with the terminal, you can use graphical tools as well.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Checking disk information with GNOME Disks tool
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu and many other GNOME-based distributions have a built-in graphical tool called Disks that lets you handle the disks in your system.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the same tool for getting the partition type of the disk as well.
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Checking disk information with Gparted graphical tool
|
||||
|
||||
If you don’t have the option to use GNOME Disks tool, no worries. There are other tools available.
|
||||
|
||||
One such popular tool is Gparted. You should find it in the repositories of most Linux distributions. If not installed already, [install Gparted][8] using your distribution’s software center or [package manager][9].
|
||||
|
||||
In Gparted, select the disk and from the menu select **View->Device** Information. It will start showing the disk information in the bottom-left area and this information includes the partitioning scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
See, not too complicated, was it? Now you know multiple ways of figuring our whether the disks in your system use GPT or MBR partitioning scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
On the same note, I would also like to mention that sometimes disks also have a [hybrid partitioning scheme][11]. This is not common and most of the time it is either MBR or GPT.

如何在 Windows 和 Linux 上确定系统使用 MBR 还是 GPT 分区
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
在你安装 Linux 或任何其他系统的时候，了解你的磁盘的正确分区方案是非常关键的。
|
||||
|
||||
目前有两种流行的分区方案，老一点的 MBR 和新一些的 GPT。现在大多数的电脑使用 GPT。
|
||||
|
||||
在制作 live 镜像或可启动 USB 设备时，一些工具（比如 [Rufus][1]）会问你在用的磁盘分区情况。如果你在 MBR 分区的磁盘上选择 GPT 方案的话，制作出来的可启动 USB 设备可能会不起作用。
|
||||
|
||||
在这个教程里，我会展示若干方法，来在 Windows 和 Linux 系统上检查磁盘分区方案。
|
||||
|
||||
### 在 Windows 上检查系统使用的是 MBR 还是 GPT
|
||||
|
||||
尽管在 Windows 上包括命令行在内有不少方法可以检查磁盘分区方案，这里我还是使用图形界面的方式查看。
|
||||
|
||||
按下 Windows 按键然后搜索“disk”，然后点击“**创建并格式化硬盘分区**”。
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
在这里，**右键点击**你想要检查分区方案的磁盘。在右键菜单里**选择属性**。
|
||||
|
||||
![右键点击磁盘并选择属性][3]
|
||||
|
||||
在属性窗口，切换到**卷**标签页，寻找**磁盘分区形式**属性。
|
||||
|
||||
![在卷标签页寻找磁盘分区形式属性][4]
|
||||
|
||||
正如你在上面截图所看到的，磁盘正在使用 GPT 分区方案。对于一些其他系统，它可能显示的是 MBR 或 MSDOS 分区方案。
|
||||
|
||||
现在你知道如何在 Windows 下检查磁盘分区方案了。在下一部分，你会学到如何在 Linux 下进行检查。
|
||||
|
||||
### 在 Linux 上检查系统使用的是 MBR 还是 GPT
|
||||
|
||||
在 Linux 上也有不少方法可以检查磁盘分区方案使用的是 MBR 还是 GPT。既有命令行方法也有图形界面工具。
|
||||
|
||||
让我先给你演示一下命令行方法，然后再看看一些图形界面的方法。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 在 Linux 使用命令行检查磁盘分区方案
|
||||
|
||||
命令行的方法应该在所有 Linux 发行版上都有效。
|
||||
|
||||
打开终端并使用 sudo 运行下列命令：
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo parted -l
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
上述命令实际上是一个基于命令行的 [Linux 分区管理器][5]。命令参数 -l 会列出系统中的所有磁盘以及它们的详情，里面包含了分区方案信息。
|
||||
|
||||
在命令输出中，寻找以 **Partition Table（分区表）**开头的行：
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
在上面的截图中，磁盘使用的是 GPT 分区方案。如果是 **MBR**，它会显示为 **msdos**。
|
||||
|
||||
你已经学会了命令行的方式。但如果你不习惯使用终端，你还可以使用图形界面工具。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 使用 GNOME Disks 工具检查磁盘信息
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 和一些其它基于 GNOME 的发行版内置了叫做 Disks 的图形工具，你可以用它管理系统中的磁盘。
|
||||
|
||||
你也可以使用它来获取磁盘的分区类型。
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 使用 Gparted 图形工具检查磁盘信息
|
||||
|
||||
如果你没办法使用 GNOME Disks 工具，别担心，还有其它工具可以使用。
|
||||
|
||||
其中一款流行的工具是 Gparted。你应该可以在大多数 Linux 发行版的软件源中找到它。如果系统中没有安装的话，使用你的发行版的软件中心或[包管理器][9]来[安装 Gparted][8]。
|
||||
|
||||
在 Gparted 中，通过菜单选择 **View-Device Information（查看—设备信息）**。它会在左下区域显示磁盘信息，这些信息中包含分区方案信息。
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
看吧，也不是太复杂，对吗？现在你了解了好几种途径来确认你的系统使用的是 GPT 还是 MBR 分区方案。
|
||||
|
||||
同时我还要提一下，有时候磁盘还会有[混合分区方案][11]。这不是很常见，大多数时候分区不是 MBR 就是 GPT。
|
||||
|
||||
有任何问题或建议？请在下方留下评论。
