  Partition (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The partition table, as used in the IBM PC architecture, was first devised in 1982, when hard drives were coming into use.
The partition table is located in the master boot record on the disk.
With Windows the standard partitioning scheme is to create a single partition, the C: drive, where the operating system, data, and programs all reside.

 IBM PC heals itself - TechUpdate - ZDNet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The application that is responsible for this feat is IBM's Rapid Restore PC, a data recovery program that the school acquired for free when it purchased nearly 300 ThinkPads this past summer.
Part of IBM's overall autonomic computing initiative, where machines are self-managing, self-diagnosing, and self-healing, Rapid Restore PC is intended to dramatically reduce the amount of help desk time companies spend on internal, errant machines.
IBM and Xpoint tout the application's primary benefit as its ease-of-use for end users, who do not require training or on-site assistance by an IT agent to facilitate the reimaging or recovery.

 Using IBM PC-DOS 4.0 with MS-DOS Hard Disk Partition (60082)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
IBM PC-DOS versions 4.0, 4.01, and 5.0 do not recognize hard disk partitions other than those created with IBM products.
For MS-DOS (and all other non-IBM DOS) partitions, this problem can be corrected by backing up the partition and then reformatting the partition with IBM PC-DOS.
Because MS-DOS does not distinguish the OEM stamp in the boot sector, the new partition (less than 32 MB) is recognized by all versions of MS-DOS that recognize a 16-bit file allocation table (FAT).

 Programmer's Technical Reference for MSDOS and the IBM PC
IBM had originally intended to use Digital Research's CP/M operating system, which was the industry standard at the time.
IBM subjected the operating system to an extensive quality-assurance program, reportedly found well over 300 bugs, and decided to rewrite the programs.
IBM's release of DOS 4.0 (and the immediate subsequent release of a bugfix) was a dubious step "forward." DOS 4.0 was the first version of DOS to come with a warranty; the catch is that IBM warranted it only for a very slim list of IBM-packaged software.

Inside the PC has several good diagrams, one showing the physical connections between the CPU, cache, memory, video controller, chipsets, PCI and ISA buses, and another showing how data and address lines connect to a standard 32MB DIMM module.
This means that the three least-significant bits of any address may be ignored in pointing to locations in main memory." It is unclear how the second sentence ties in with the first, and why the three least-significant bits may be ignored.
Back in the 80's, many of us first learned about PC hardware from Peter Norton's excellent "Inside the IBM PC." John Goodman carries on the tradition with the 8th edition (probably 4x the size of the original).
