Figure C-6. Disk Drive With Single Partition
In many cases, there is only a single partition spanning the entire disk, essentially duplicating the
method used before partitions. The partition table has only one entry used, and it points to the start of
the partition.
We have labeled this partition as being of the "DOS" type. Although it is only one of several possible
partition types listed in Table C-1, it is adequate for the purposes of this discussion.
Table C-1, contains a listing of some popular (and obscure) partition types, along with their hexideci-
mal numeric values.
