Each operating system uses its partition as + it wishes and doesn't touch the other one's. This way the two + operating systems can co-exist peacefully on the same hard + disk. Without partitions one would have to buy a hard disk for + each operating system. +<P> + Floppies are not partitioned. There is no technical reason + against this, but since they're so small, partitions would be + useful only very rarely. CD-ROM's are usually also not + partitioned, since it's easier to use them as one big + disk, and there is seldom a need to have several operating + systems on one. +<P> +<BR> <HR> +<UL><A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"> </A> +<LI> <A NAME="tex2html756" HREF="node36.html#SECTION00571000000000000000">The MBR, boot sectors and partition table</A> +<LI> <A NAME="tex2html757" HREF="node37.html#SECTION00572000000000000000">Extended and logical partitions</A> +<LI> <A NAME="tex2html758" HREF="node38.html#SECTION00573000000000000000">Partition types</A> +<LI> <A NAME="tex2html759" HREF="node39.html#SECTION00574000000000000000">Partitioning a hard disk</A> +<LI> <A NAME="tex2html760" HREF="node40.html#SECTION00575000000000000000">Device files and partitions</A> +</UL> +<BR> <HR> +<P><ADDRESS> +<I>Lars Wirzenius <BR> +Sat Nov 15 02:32:11 EET 1997</I> +</ADDRESS> +</BODY> +</HTML> |
