Hello Everyone, I was working on another PC (PC2) and managed to repair its hard drive. I noticed that the Local Disk D is the primary partition, is that acceptable? In PC2 I did the following: removed the HDD, installed Windows on an SSD formatted HDD because the original HDD's file record was unreadable. Then I deleted Local Disk D from the boot setup since I couldn't do it in Windows. I created a two-partition setup on Local Disk D because it was unallocated. PC1 is my current machine, and I confirmed that Local Disk D is indeed the primary partition, everything seems okay. PC2 is a brand-new formatted system, and Disk 1/Local Disk C isn't a primary partition.

According to common understanding, a Primary Partition indicates the disk uses the MBR format.
