Question

for a typical mbr-formatted drive, what are the number of bytes from offset 0x00 position to the first boot partition sector?
a. 128 bytes
b. 512 bytes
c. 32,768 bytes
d. 65,536 bytes

Explanation:

A typical MBR (Master Boot Record) occupies the first sector of a drive, which is 512 bytes in size. This sector starts at offset 0x00, and the first boot partition sector immediately follows this MBR sector. Thus, the distance from offset 0x00 to the first boot partition sector equals the size of the MBR sector.

Answer:

b. 512 bytes
