- Description
- GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the standard format used to define the partitions of computer storage devices like hard disks using globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). It is also used on some BIOS systems to replace the early version master boot record (MBR) method, which supported up to 2.2TB partitions. GPT supports up to 18 Terabytes partitions.
- A ZIP file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed or "zipped" using Zip compression. It stores files separately from each other allowing the files to be compressed using different methods and extracted without compressing or decompressing the entire archive.
