Extended partition A type of partition that overcomes the limitation of four partitions per disk drive as one or more logical drives may be created within an extended partition. FAT file system The file system used by MS-DOS and adapted for Windows to store information on hard disks, which makes use of a file allocation table. There are three types of FAT file systems including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32. File Allocation Table (FAT) A table or list maintained by certain operating systems to keep track of how files are stored on a hard disk. File system The method used by an operating system to name, access, and organize files and directories on a disk (for example, FAT32 or NTFS). Graphical user interface (GUI) A user interface, as used in the Windows operating systems, which uses a mouse and graphic displays to interact with the user. The goal of a GUI is to make the program easier to use than a text-based application or operating system such as MS-DOS. Hard Disk A specific type of disk drive comprised of one or more rigid metal platters. IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) A interface technology used to integrate a disk drive and a computer. Hard disks using IDE technology have their controller built directly into the disk drive eliminating the need for a separate controller card in the computer. Interface The connection and interaction between hardware, software, or the user. Locked File Files currently in use by your system and traditionally unavailable to other applications, including backup operations. Examples of applications that create locked files include Oracle databases, SQL servers, Lotus Notes®, and e-mail servers. Logical drive A portion of a hard disk that is considered to be a single unit. In this context, logical means "conceptual" because there is no direct relationship between the name and a physical object. Master Boot Record Appendix B. Glossary 15
