2. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

   Like MBR, GPT uses logical block addressing (LBA) in place of the historical cylinder-head-sector (CHS) addressing. The protective MBR is stored at LBA 0, and the GPT header is in LBA 1, with a backup GPT header stored at the final LBA. The GPT header has a pointer to the partition table (Partition Entry Array), which is typically at LBA 2 ...

3. BIOS boot partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition

   On MBR disks, such boot loaders typically use the sectors immediately following the MBR for this storage; that space is usually known as the "MBR gap". No equivalent unused space exists on GPT disks, and the BIOS boot partition is a way to officially allocate such space for use by the boot loader.

4. Partition type - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type

   The partition type (or partition ID) in a partition's entry in the partition table inside a master boot record (MBR) is a byte value intended to specify the file system the partition contains or to flag special access methods used to access these partitions (e.g. special CHS mappings, LBA access, logical mapped geometries, special driver access, hidden partitions, secured or encrypted file ...

5. GParted - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gparted

   GParted (acronym of GNOME Partition Editor) is a GTK front-end to GNU Parted and an official GNOME partition-editing application (alongside Disks). GParted is used for creating, deleting, [ 3 ] resizing, [ 4 ] moving, checking, and copying disk partitions and their file systems .

6. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

   The term is most commonly associated with the MBR partition table of a Master Boot Record (MBR) in PCs, but it may be used generically to refer to other formats that divide a disk drive into partitions, such as: GUID Partition Table (GPT), Apple partition map (APM), [12] or BSD disklabel. [13]

7. GNU Parted - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Parted

   GParted is a graphical program using the parted libraries. It is adapted for GNOME , one of the two major desktop environments (the other being KDE ) for Unix-like installations. It is often included as utility on many live CD distributions to make partitioning easier.

9. Microsoft Reserved Partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Reserved_Partition

   Formerly, on disks formatted using the master boot record (MBR) partition layout, certain software components used hidden sectors of the disk for data storage purposes. For example, the Logical Disk Manager (LDM), on dynamic disks, stores metadata in a 1 MB area at the end of the disk which is not allocated to any partition.
