The Boot Process
What is the Master Boot Record (MBR)?
It is the first 512 bytes located on the first sector of the media.
The MBR has enough information to determine
four
primary partitions:
The start cylinder for each partition
The number of cylinders for each partition
The id or type of each partition
Is the partition bootable?
