Master Drive.
NTFS ( N ew T echnology F ile S ystem)
The standard file system of the Windows NT
operating system. It offers a number of
performance, extendibility, and security improve-
ments over the File Allocation Table (FAT).
Partitions created using NTFS are not accessible
from other operating systems such as DOS.
Partition
A way of dividing physical hard drive space into
logically separate segments, which an operating
system treats as individual hard drives. Partitioning
is particularly useful when multiple operating
systems are loaded on one drive. For example,
creating one partition for Windows NT, another for
UNIX and so on.
PIO ( P rogrammed I nput/ O utput)
A method of transferring data between two devices
in which all data passes through the CPU. A newer
alternative to PIO is Direct Memory Access (DMA).
See also UDMA.
QWERTY
Refers to the arrangement of the keys on a
standard English computer keyboard. The name
derives from the first six characters located on the
top row of the keyboard.
RAM Disk
RAM that has been configured to appear to a
computer as a hard drive. Files on a RAM disk can
be accessed just as files on a physical drive.
However, RAM disks lose their contents once the
computer has been turned off or rebooted. Also
known as a RAMDISK or RAMDRIVE.
