Magnetism Allows Data Storage
Hard disks, diskettes, high-capacity
floppy disks and tapes have a magnetic
coating on their surface that enables
each medium to store data.

Preparing Disks for Storage
Formatting or initializing prepares disks
for storage, magnetically mapping the
disk’s surface.

Formatted Disks Have Three Sections
Main sections, called Tracks
Track subsections, called Sectors
Groups of sectors, called Clusters

Logical Format
A logical format is the labeling of tracks
and sectors

Master Boot Record
This program determines whether the
disk contains the basic components of
an operating system necessary to run
successfully

File Allocation Table (FAT)
A log created during the logical
formatting process that records the
location of each file and status of each
sector on the disk
