<p><a href="page.php?w=IBM">IBM</a> <a href="page.php?w=PC_DOS">PC DOS</a> 2.0 introduced the <code><a href="page.php?w=FDISK">FDISK</a></code> utility to set up and maintain MBR partitions. When a storage device has been partitioned according to this scheme, its MBR contains a partition table describing the locations, sizes, and other attributes of linear regions referred to as partitions.</p>

<p>The partitions themselves may also contain data to describe more complex partitioning</p><p>
