In the diskpart utility, the "active" command is used to set the partition on a disk as active. It is important to note that this process is destructive and will erase all data on the disk, so it is vital to back up important data before proceeding. The "convert gpt" command in diskpart can be used to convert a disk from MBR to GPT or the "convert mbr" command to convert a disk from GPT to MBR.
Additionally, GPT has a backup copy of the partition table, which can recover the partition information if the primary copy becomes corrupted. It also includes a protective MBR, which prevents accidental disk repartitioning and corruption. The GPT partition table uses a GUID to identify partitions, allowing larger disk sizes and more partitions than MBR. GPT stores more data than MBR and supports larger hard drives and drives split into multiple partitions.
It is a standard used by most modern OSs to store information on how a hard drive is divided into separate partitions.

The GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) Partition Table ( GPT) replaces the older MBR partitioning scheme.
