    Microsoft-defined GPT attribute flags for BDPs [1] Bit number Meaning 60: The volume is read-only and may not be mounted read-write. 62: The volume is hidden. 63: The operating system may not automatically assign a drive letter to the volume.

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  6. BIOS boot partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition

    The BIOS boot partition is a partition on a data storage device that GNU GRUB uses on legacy BIOS-based personal computers in order to boot an operating system, when the actual boot device contains a GUID Partition Table (GPT). Such a layout is sometimes referred to as BIOS/GPT boot. [1]

  7. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskpart

    In computing, diskpart is a command-line disk partitioning utility included in Windows 2000 and later Microsoft operating systems, replacing its predecessor, fdisk. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The command is also available in ReactOS .

  9. Master boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

    Where a data storage device has been partitioned with the GPT scheme, the master boot record will still contain a partition table, but its only purpose is to indicate the existence of the GPT and to prevent utility programs that understand only the MBR partition table scheme from creating any partitions in what they would otherwise see as free ...
