2. Apple Partition Map - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Partition_Map

   The Apple Partition Map maps out all space used (including the map) and unused (free space) on disk, unlike the minimal x86 master boot record that only accounts for used non-map partitions. This means that every block on the disk (with the exception of the first block, Block 0) belongs to a partition.

3. Master boot record - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

   The MBR bootstrap code loads and runs (a boot loader- or operating system-dependent) volume boot record code that is located at the beginning of the "active" partition. The volume boot record will fit within a 512-byte sector, but it is safe for the MBR code to load additional sectors to accommodate boot loaders longer than one sector, provided ...

4. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

   Forming a part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard (Unified EFI Forum-proposed replacement for the PC BIOS), it is nevertheless also used for some BIOSs, because of the limitations of master boot record (MBR) partition tables, which use 32 bits for logical block addressing (LBA) of traditional 512-byte disk sectors.

5. 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 ...

6. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

   The terms partition table and partition map are similar terms and can be used interchangeably. 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 ...

7. Track0 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track0

   The first sector of Track0 is known as the master boot record (MBR) and contains the initial code used to boot the operating system (bootstrap code). Near the end of the MBR is the Partition Table: a predefined structure containing the layout of the disk.

8. List of default file systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_default_file_systems

   List of partition IDs (MBR) Master Boot Record (MBR) GUID Partition Table (GPT) Apple Partition Map; Amiga Rigid Disk Block; Timeline of DOS operating systems;

9. TestDisk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TestDisk

   TestDisk reads sectors on the storage device to determine if the partition table or filesystem on it requires repair (see next section). TestDisk is able to recognize the following partition table formats: [2] Apple partition map; GUID Partition Table; Humax; PC/Intel Partition Table (master boot record) Sun Solaris slice; Xbox fixed ...
