| | Master boot record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Due to the broad popularity of PC-compatible computers, this type of MBR is widely used, to the extent of being supported on other types of computer, and incorporated into newer cross-platform standards for bootstrapping and partitioning. |
 | | The MBR can simply assume that the one active partition on the current drive is supposed to boot, or alternately, it can be programmed as a Dual boot MBR. |
 | | The MBR program may communicate with the user, examine the partition table, or perform some housekeeping tasks such as enabling the A20 line, or changing to Unreal mode from Real mode. |
