Sinossi

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A Volume Boot Record (also known as a volume boot sector or a partition boot sector, although the latter is not strictly correct) is a type of boot sector, stored in a disc volume on a hard disk, floppy disk, or similar data storage device, that contains code for booting programs (usually, but not necessarily, operating systems) stored in other parts of the volume. On non-partitioned storage devices, it is the first sector of the device. On partitioned devices, it is the first sector of an individual partition on the device, with the first sector of the entire device instead being a Master Boot Record (MBR).The code in volume boot records is invoked either directly by the machine''s firmware or indirectly by an MBR or a boot manager.
