  2. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    Each partition then appears to the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that uses part of the actual disk. System administrators use a program called a partition editor to create, resize, delete, and manipulate the partitions. [3] Partitioning allows the use of different filesystems to be installed for different kinds of files.

  3. Host protected area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_protected_area

    If the value in the register is set to less than the actual hard drive size then effectively a host protected area is created. It is protected because the OS will work with only the value in the register that is returned by the IDENTIFY DEVICE command and thus will normally be unable to address the parts of the drive that lie within the HPA.

    C: — First hard disk drive partition. D: to Z: — Other disk partitions get labeled here. Windows assigns the next free drive letter to the next drive it encounters while enumerating the disk drives on the system. Drives can be partitioned, thereby creating more drive letters. This applies to MS-DOS, as well as all Windows operating systems.

  7. Volume (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(computing)

    In computer data storage, a volume or logical drive is a single accessible storage area with a single file system, typically (though not necessarily) resident on a single partition of a hard disk. Although a volume might be different from a physical disk drive, it can still be accessed with an operating system's logical interface.

  8. System Restore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Restore

    Windows XP stores restore point files in a hidden folder named "System Volume Information" on the root of every drive, partition or volume, including most external drives and some USB flash drives. [3] The operating system deletes older restore points per the configured space constraint on a first in, first out basis.

  9. Data recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery

    The most common data recovery scenarios involve an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive.
