Selecting initialization method

Acronis True Image 2018 supports both MBR and GPT partitioning. GUID Partition Table (GPT) is a new hard disk partitioning method providing advantages over the old MBR partitioning method. If your operating system supports GPT disks, you can select the new disk to be initialized as a GPT disk.

• To add a GPT disk, click Initialize disk in GPT layout.
• To add an MBR disk, click Initialize disk in MBR layout.

If you use a 32-bit version of Windows XP, the GPT initialization method will be unavailable and the Initialization options step will be absent.

After selecting the required initialization method click Next.
