  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. Master boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

    The MBR will be involved only insofar as it might contain a partition table for compatibility purposes if the GPT partition table scheme has been used. There is some MBR replacement code that emulates EFI firmware's bootstrap, which makes non-EFI machines capable of booting from disks using the GPT partitioning scheme.

  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. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    This section describes the master boot record (MBR) partitioning scheme, as used historically in DOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux (among others) on PC-compatible computer systems. As of the mid-2010s, most new computers use the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme instead.

  6. EFI system partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition

    The globally unique identifier (GUID) for the EFI system partition in the GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme is C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B, while its ID in the master boot record (MBR) partition-table scheme is 0xEF. Both GPT- and MBR-partitioned disks can contain an EFI system partition, as UEFI firmware is required to support both ...

  7. BIOS boot partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition

    A BIOS boot partition is needed on GPT-partitioned storage devices to hold the second stages of GRUB. On traditional MBR-partitioned devices, the disk sectors immediately following the first are usually unused, as the partitioning scheme does not designate them for any special purpose and partitioning tools avoid them for alignment purposes. On ...

  8. File:GUID Partition Table Scheme.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GUID_Partition_Table...

    English: Diagram illustrating the layout of the GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme. Each logical block (LBA) is 512 bytes in size. LBA addresses that are negative indicate position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block. Kbolino is the original author of this work.

  9. BSD disklabel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_disklabel

    Sometimes (particularly in FreeBSD), the primary MBR partitions are referred to as slices and the subdivisions of a primary MBR partition (for the nested BSD partitioning scheme) that are described by its disklabel are called partitions. The BSD disklabel is contained within the volume boot record of its primary MBR partition.
