Thread: UEFI and additional partitions


as understand it, uefi (which have on machine) enables have more 4 primary partitions. there ubuntu partitioning tools enable 1 take advantage of that? gparted doesn't seem able it.

no, uefi has nothing number of partitions, far know.

it's partition table type on disk controls that. older type mbr (or msdos) table has limitation of 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary , 1 extended holding more logical partitions.

gpt table allows many partitions, there no difference between primary , logical.

windows 7 can use uefi gpt table might think option have more 4 partitions because uefi, when in reality it's because of gpt.

ubuntu support gpt long time ago , can have disk gpt table. if dual boot on same disk, have use uefi , win7 because of mentioned limitation needs combination of gpt+uefi work.
