Start Disk geometry and division Convert and disk management programs Core IDE disk conversion * 5.1 EZD * 5.2 DM6: DDO * 5.3 DM6: AUX * 5.4 DM6: the MBR * 5.5 PTBL Conclusion 6. * 6.1 IDE details * 6.2 SCSI details _________________________________________________________________ The problem If you drive more than 1024 cluster (cylinders). Also, if your operating system used This system (BIOS). Then you will have a problem because of the normal disk input/input/input The INT13 BIOS interface USES a 10 bit (bit) field to manipulate the cluster, so it cannot be accessed The 1024 and subsequent magnetic clusters. Fortunately, Linux doesnt use the BIOS, so theres no problem. That said, but there are two exceptions: (1) when you start the system, Linux is not yet on the run, so you cant avoid this problem LILO and similar boot loaders have some impact. (2) all the operating systems using the disk must agree to the location of the division. In other words, if you are in one Using Linux on the disk and, for example, DOS, the two must interpret the split table in the same way Material. This has some effect on Linux kernel and fdisk. Below is a more detailed description of all the relevant details. Note that I use the 2.0.8 core source code Reference. Other versions may be slightly different. 2. Start When the system is started, the BIOS reads the magnetic region 0 (commonly known as MBR) from the first disk (or from the floppy disk) Master Boot Record, the main Boot field) and jump to the code in the place - usually some start load Bootstrap loader. These little startup programs dont usually have their
