Well Done Guys who answered them correctly...

 

OK - what is your reference for this one?

In my book on a hard drive the basic unit is a a sector. On a *partition* it is a cluster. Not quite the same! <grin>

Harry.

 

I got this from Michael Meyers... (well actually from my notes from his book)...

but a partition is from a hard drive, so why the diff?

 

Without refering to MM:
A partition is a *logical* superposition on a hard drive, and has its own contraints from the OS it belongs to. So it is not the same thing as the *physical* layout of the drive.

EDIT - see page 353 of MM

Harry (off to check with MM now)

 

you what?

 

I thought the answer for that was Sector so quite suprised when it was wrong.

A partition is an arbitrary divide in the way an OS views the disk, it has no physical basis.

 

Read page 433 and following.

MM says that the *base* layout is in sectors, but that the OS imposes clusters on top when the partition is created.

The usual terms for this are:- Physical - the real layout, and Logical - what the OS does with these physical pieces.
