In Intel-based Mac systems, computers can boot only from drives that use which partitioning scheme?

NTFS

FAT32

GUID Partition Table (GPT)

EFI-based Macs boot using a partitioning map that is GPT—the GUID Partition Table. This partition scheme is required because the firmware uses GPT to locate and load the macOS startup volume. NTFS and FAT32 are filesystem types, not the boot partition map, so they don’t determine bootability in this context. HFS+ is also a filesystem; you can have an HFS+-formatted volume on a GPT disk, but the critical factor for boot on Intel Macs is that the disk uses GPT.

HFS+
