Partition table

Partition table is a table in the master boot record of a hard disk that specifies how the disk is set up. It contains such information as the size and location of partitions, which operating system each partition uses, and from which partition the computer will boot.

Testimonials and User Comments

Just wanted you all to know that here on the road at a customer site I was foiled at using Ghost (and in particular being able to download Ghost after purchasing it) and so hit Google for an alternative. I found Acronis True Image and it absolutely rocked! From creating a boot CD on installation (which is what I really needed), to finding my USB drive flawlessly, to managing a multi-partition Linux drive clone, you saved my butt and I am thankful.
