Before a disk can be used to store data it must first have partitions created on it. These partitions are then formatted with a particular file system (FAT, FAT32 or NTFS) and used either as a basic disk or as dynamic disk. Obviously, the operating system needs some mechanism for organizing and managing these disk partitions and Windows Server 2008 provides two such partitioning styles named Master Boot Record (MBR) and GUID Partition Table (GPT).
