== Creating Primary Partitions on a GPT Basic Disk ==
As described above, a GPT basic disk can accommodate a total of 128 partitions including special partitions such as MSR and ESP partitions.
Click on the Next button to proceed to the summary screen. Assuming the settings are satisfactory, click on Finish to begin the formatting process. The wizard will close and the disk in the graphical display will show the new volume as a primary volume and show the progress of the formatting process.
