The purpose of this chapter of [[Windows Server 2008 Essentials]] is to provide an overview of the decisions and steps necessary to add new disk drives to a Windows Server 2008 system. Installing a new disk drive is not just about formatting the drive and creating volumes. With Windows Server 2008 decisions need to be made about the ''partitioning style'' since both Master Boot Record (MBR) or GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) Partition Table (GPT) disks are supported in this latest version of Windows. Given this requirement, this chapter will also provide an explanation of the difference between MBR and GPT disks. The concepts described in this chapter relate primarily to basic disks. Dynamic disks are covered in a later chapter.
