FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -NTFS formatted volumes are limited to simple volumes across one disk.

Detailed explanation-2: -A simple volume is a portion of a physical disk that functions as though it were a physically separate unit. A simple volume can consist of a single region on a disk or multiple regions of the same disk that are linked together.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple Volume VS Primary Partition The primary partition is a partition which can be used to boot an Operating System, can only be created on a basic disk with MBR or GPT partition table under all Windows systems. Hence, simple volumes are based on dynamic disk while primary partitions are based on basic disk.

Detailed explanation-4: -A basic disk is a type of hard drive configuration, available with the Windows operating system. A basic disk makes use of primary partitions and optionally, an extended partition. The consist of up to four primary partitions or three primary partitions and one extended.

Detailed explanation-5: -A basic disk using the GPT partition style can have up to 128 primary partitions, while dynamic disks will have a single LDM partition as with MBR partitioning. Because basic disks using GPT partitioning do not limit you to four partitions, you do not need to create extended partitions or logical drives.
