  • Introduction to DOS Logic
    File Number 8360-36 Order No. GY24-50l7-l2 Introduction to DOS Logic Program Number 360N-CL-4S3 This reference publication gives an overall view of the Disk Operating System (008), and it briefly describes the associated control and service programs. It is intended for persons who are involved in program maintenance and for system programmers who are altering the program design. Program logic information is not needed for normal use or operation of the system control program. This manual is designed to introduce and to cross-reference the six companion PLMs of the Disk Operating System. These associated PLMs are listed in the Preface of this manual. For titles and abstracts of other associated publications, see the IBM System/360 and System/370 Bibliography, GA22-6822. DOS Release 26 I Thirteenth Edition (October 1971) This publication was formerly titled IBM System/360 Disk Operating System: Introduction to System Control Programs. Although titles of some DOS publications (including this one) have been simplified, the change does not affect the contents of the publications. This edition applies to Release 26 of the IBM Disk Operating System and to all subsequent releases until otherwise indicated in new editions or Technical Newsletters. Changes are continually made to the specifications herein; before . using this publication in connection with the operation of IBM systems, consult the latest System/360 and System/370 SRL Newsletter, GN20-0360, for the editions that are applicable and current. This edition is a major revision of, and obsoletes, GY24-5017-11.

  • Pc-Based Partitions
    Carrier_05.qxd 2/22/05 3:07 PM Page 81 PC-based5 Partitions The last chapter provided an overview of volume analysis and why it’s important. Now we’re going to leave the abstract discussion of volumes and dive into the details of the partition systems used in personal computers. In this chapter, we will look at DOS parti- tions, Apple partitions, and removable media. For each system, we review how it works and look at its data structure. If you are not interested in the data structure details, you can skip those sections. This chapter also covers special considerations that should be made when analyzing these systems. The next chapter will examine server-based partitioning systems. DOS PARTITIONS The most commonly encountered partition system is the DOS-style partition. DOS partitions have been used with Intel IA32 hardware (i.e., i386 / x86) for many years, yet there is no official specification. There are many Microsoft and non-Microsoft documents that discuss the partitions, but there is no standard reference. In addition to there being no standard reference, there is also no standard name. Microsoft now calls disks using this type of partition system Master Boot Record (MBR) disks. This is in comparison to a GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk that is used with the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and the 64-bit Intel Itanium-based systems (IA64), which are discussed in the next chapter[Microsoft 2004a]. Starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft also differentiates between basic and dynamic disks. A basic disk refers to 81 Carrier_05.qxd 2/22/05 3:07 PM Page 82 CHAPTER 5 PC-BASED PARTITIONS either an MBR or a GPT disk, and the partitions in the disk are independent and stand- alone.
