So what are heads, sectors/track, cylinders, etc. of a Hard disk properties is all about?
Sector 0 of the disk is called the Master Boot Record (MBR). Within the MBR there is a field that identifies the format for each partition on the disk. For example NTFS is 07 (hexadecimal), FAT32 is 0B, Linux is 83, etc.
