I've got a raw, blank GPT disk for use in a UEFI system. I need to create the partitions on it using diskpart. The only tutorial I've found so far is for diskpart.efi, which I believe is slightly different from the command-line diskpart. MS guide to GPT partitions with diskpart.efi Also the guide says to create a MSR of 32MB, but for a disk>= 16GB I know it needs to be 128MB.
I'm happy doing it with diskpart, just want to be sure I understand the fundamentals. I'm planning on installing, in this order:
- ESP partition, size 102 MB (create partition esp size=102)
- MSR partition, size 128 MB (create partition msr size=128)
- data partition, the remaining space (approx 460GB)
Is this the correct thing to do, or is there anything I'm missing?
