Using the above memory dump of the data part of a partition table,find the following information for 1st and 2nd partitions.

1. Partition is bootable or not?
2. Partition type?
3. First logical block relative to the start of partition?
4. Total number of blocks in partition (in decimal)?
5. What is the partition table signature?

Explanation / Answer

->Each partition table entry is 16 bytes and containsthings like the start and end location of a partition.T
->The start size in sectors, the partition "type" and the"active"flag. ->There is no central clearing house to assign the codesused in the one byte "type" field. But codes are assigned (orused) to define most every type of file system that anyone has everimplemented on the x86 PC: 12-bit FAT, 16-bit FAT, HPFS, NTFS,etc. Plus, an extended partition also has a unique typecode. ->The 16 bytes of a partition table entry are used asfollows:     +---Bit 7 is the active partition flag, bits 6-0are zero.     |
