Hard Drive and Partitioning Basics
What is a partition?
A partition is a basic container for data on your hard drive. Although most hard drives have only one partition, System Commander 2000 allows you to divide up a hard drive into several distinct partitions. Each partition occupies a physically separate area of the hard drive and functions almost as if it were an independent hard drive. Because of this, a partition can be given its own name, or label, can contain its own operating system and file system, or can simply operate as an additional area for better organization of your files. In Windows and Dos, partition are usually assigned drive letters such as C:, D:, E:, etc.
Types of Partitions -Partition Terminology
Primary partitions
A hard drive can be divided up into a maximum of four primary partitions. The first partition on a hard drive is numbered Partition 0; subsequent primary partitions are Partition 1, 2, and 3.
Extended and Logical Partitions
In order to provide more than four partitions, a primary partition can be designated as an extended partition. An extended partition can be subdivided into several more sections known as logical partitions.
Bootable Partitions
Some partitions can be made bootable, which means that an operating system can be started up from within that partition. A bootable partition is also known as an active partition. A non-bootable partition cannot initialize an operating system. The ability for a partition to be bootable is controlled by the operating system. For example, DOS, Windows 95, and Windows 98 allow only primary partitions to be bootable and will not allow a logical partition to be bootable. By contrast, other operating systems including OS/2 and Linux can be installed to allow a logical partition to bootable. In order to start up, every PC must contain at least one bootable partition. Using Windows 95/98 or DOS, this partition is normally the first active primary partition (Partition 0) of the first hard drive in the computer (Drive 0), and is by default assigned the drive letter C:. To run more than one operating system on your PC ，you will typically want to configure a separate bootable partition for each OS. Partitioning and booting characteristics of several operating systems are discussed more fully in Appendix C: Additional considerations.

硬盘和分区基础
什么是分区？
分区是硬盘上存储数据的基本单位。虽然大多数的硬盘只有一个分区，但是2000系统允许你将一个硬盘分割为几个不同的分区。每个分区占据硬盘上单独的物理区域，并且功能上看上去象一个[屏蔽]的硬盘。正因为如此，分区能够有自己的名字或标签并能够有自己的操作系统和文件系统，或能作为更好组织文件的额外区域。在windows和dos中，分区通常被分配如下驱动器名：C D E等等

分区的种类－－－－分区术语

谢谢

什么叫分区?
分区是你硬盘上的一个基本的存储的空间,虽然大多数硬盘只有一个分区,但是系统管理工具(这个不太清楚,有点像2000)允许你将一个硬盘分为多个[屏蔽]的分区,每个分区占用一段[屏蔽]的硬盘扇区,并且在功能上可以看作一个[屏蔽]的硬盘,所以,每个分区可以[屏蔽]命名或更改卷标.并且这个分区里面可以含有自己[屏蔽]的操作系统和文件系统.也可以简单地作为你管理文件的附加区域.在WINDOWS和Dos里面,分区一般被标记为:C: D: E:等盘符
分区类型--------分区相关术语
一个硬盘可最大被分为4个主分区,硬盘第一个分区分区号为0,以后的主分区被称为:1,2,3
