How to create an OEM partition on a GPT hard disk in a WIN8 system

Most of the computers preloaded with WIN8 are in the new version of the UEFI firmware + GPT format disk, which has the advantage of enabling additional features such as safe booting, and support for more hard disk partitions and larger partition capacity. Here we describe how to create an OEM partition on a GPT hard drive in a Win8 system.

To create an OEM partition:

1. In the DiskPart command, perform the "create partition primary ID=XX size=xx" for the selected partition, where the ID identifies the OEM manufacturer.

2. For GPT-formatted disks, the above command is no longer available, and after creating a primary partition (create par pri size=xxx), you can do a "Gpt attributes=0x0000000000000001" to set it up as an OEM Partition.

3, for the command does not understand, you can help gpt this instruction to view the meaning of the GPT command.

Additional code and attributes:

If a user wants to cancel an applied property, simply add a minus sign "-" to the property ID in the GPT 64-bit attribute ID command.
