"Basic disk" refers to the storage system that already exists in the DOS era. The primary disk partitions, extended disk partitions, and Logical Disk Partitions are allowed. The partition type used by the Basic disk is called the master startup record (MBR). The Master Boot Record is located in the first sector of the basic disk. The master startup record records important information about the disk structure, such as the start sector, end sector, total number of sectors, and partition information (that is, the partition table fat. For personal computers and a considerable number of servers, most of them use the "Basic disk" storage system. A "Dynamic Disk" is introduced from Windows 2000. A system earlier than Windows 2000 does not support dynamic disks. In Windows Server 2003 (SP1), dynamic disks work in the form of logical units, which are also called Disk groups. In the Basic disk system, the partition table (the partition table contains important information about the disk partition) is included in the master startup record. Dynamic disks include some important information about disks in a record. When creating a dynamic disk, a 1 MB database information is actually written at the end of the disk volume. This database contains the partition information of all dynamic disks on the server, and the information will be automatically copied to other dynamic disks on the local machine.
