The Boot Record
The boot record is the first sector of a logical drive. It can (but does not have to) contain a boot loader needed to boot an operating system. The boot record always contains a structure called the BIOS Parameter Block describing some properties of the logical drive. For example, this information includes:
- size of the logical drive
- cluster size
- number and size of FATs
- size of root directory
- a disk serial number
