Hello everyone, I'm new at the forum so it's great I can finally be a part of it

I have a real doubt

What are the differences between MBR and GUID Partition Table?

Because I read on the web that this boot's are not the same, what's the difference amongst them?

On the other hand I wanna know what is the difference between the AHCI mode on HDDs and the IDE mode, will it perform better if I put a SATA II drive on AHCI? and what if put an IDE drive on AHCI as well?

And finally I wish to know if there's anything I can read about the different file systems, such as FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, UDFS and CDFS.

Thank you in advance for your help!
