In [[Microsoft]] [[operating system]]s, when using [[Logical Disk Manager#Basic and dynamic disks and volumes|basic disk]] partitioned with [[GUID Partition Table]] (GPT) layout, a '''basic data partition''' ('''BDP''') is any [[partition (computing)|partition]] identified with [[Globally Unique Identifier]] (GUID) of
According to Microsoft, the basic data partition is the equivalent to [[master boot record]] (MBR) partition types
A basic data partition can be formatted with any [[file system]], although most commonly BDPs are formatted with the NTFS, exFAT, or FAT32 file systems. To programmatically determine which file system a BDP contains, Microsoft specifies that one should inspect the [[BIOS Parameter Block]] that is contained in the BDP's [[Volume Boot Record]].
When a Microsoft operating system converts a GPT-partitioned basic disk to a [[dynamic disk]], all BDPs are combined and converted to a single [[Logical Disk Manager]] data partition identified with GUID
Linux used the same partition type GUID for basic data partition as Windows prior to introduction of a Linux specific Data Partition GUID
