1 boot sector
"A critical disk structure for starting your computer, located at sector 1 of each volume or floppy disk. It contains executable code and data that is required by the code, including information used by the file system to access the volume. The boot sector is created when your format the volume." -
2 boot drive
"In a PC-compatible computer, the disk drive that the BIOS uses to automatically load the operating system when the computer is turned on." -
3 boot record
The section of a disk that contains the operating system. -
4 master boot record
"The first sector on a hard disk, which begins the process of starting the computer. The MBR contains the partition table for the disk and a small amount of executable code called the master boot code." -
5 cold boot
"A startup process that begins with turning on the computer's power. Typically, a cold boot involves some basic hardware checking by the system, after which the operating system is loaded from disk into memory." -
6 native boot
An operating-system installation and configuration that uses a virtual hard disk as the running operating system. There is no host operating system or hypervisor in a native-boot configuration. -
7 partition boot sector
A portion of a hard disk partition that contains information about the disk's file system and a short machine language program that loads the Windows operating system. -
8 Primary disk
The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows. -
9 MBR disk
A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style. -

11 DVD boot
The process of starting a computer from the retail product DVD and then installing Windows on the hard disk by using Windows Setup. -
12 logical drive
"A volume that you create within an extended partition on a basic master boot record (MBR) disk. Logical drives are similar to primary partitions, except that you are limited to four primary partitions per disk, whereas you can create an unlimited number of logical drives per disk. A logical drive can be formatted and assigned a drive letter." -
13 logical device
"A volume that you create within an extended partition on a basic master boot record (MBR) disk. Logical drives are similar to primary partitions, except that you are limited to four primary partitions per disk, whereas you can create an unlimited number of logical drives per disk. A logical drive can be formatted and assigned a drive letter." -
14 GUID partition table
"A disk-partitioning scheme that is used by the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). GPT offers more advantages than master boot record (MBR) partitioning because it allows up to 128 partitions per disk, provides support for volumes up to 18 exabytes in size, allows primary and backup partition tables for redundancy, and supports unique disk and partition IDs (GUIDs)." -
15 GPT

16 extended partition
"A type of partition that you can create only on basic master boot record (MBR) disks. Extended partitions are useful if you want to create more than four volumes on a basic MBR disk. Unlike primary partitions, you do not format an extended partition with a file system and then assign a drive letter to it. Instead, you create one or more logical drives within the extended partition. After you create a logical drive, you format it and assign it a drive letter. An MBR disk can have up to four primary partitions or three primary partitions, one extended partition, and multiple logical drives." -
17 MBR
"The first sector on a hard disk, which begins the process of starting the computer. The MBR contains the partition table for the disk and a small amount of executable code called the master boot code." -
18 Windows ReadyDrive
"A feature that enables Windows Vista PCs equipped with a hybrid hard disk drive to boot up faster, resume from hibernate in less time, and preserve battery power."
