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. Microsoft basic data partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_basic_data_partition

   A basic data partition can be formatted with any file system, although most commonly BDPs are formatted with the NTFS, exFAT, or FAT32 file systems. To programmatically determine which file system a BDP contains, Microsoft specifies that one should inspect the BIOS Parameter Block that is contained in the BDP's Volume Boot Record .

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.

5. Master boot record - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

   A MBR program may interact with the user to determine which partition on which drive should boot, and may transfer control to the MBR of a different drive. Other MBR code contains a list of disk locations (often corresponding to the contents of files in a filesystem) of the remainder of the boot manager code to load and to execute. (The first ...

6. 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 ...

9. 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]
