Why is RAID partition recovery so important?

2010-03-11

The physical disk of a computer is divided into logical disks. These are commonly named as the C, D, E, etc drives or volumes. This is done by the process of partitioning. Sometimes partition tables become corrupt. Due to this volumes may disappear and a lot of other problems arise. This calls for the need to have RAID partition recovery.

An account of all the information related to the number of volumes on the physical disk and their location, needs to be maintained. This is done by the Mater Boot Record (MBR) and the Extended Partition Pointers (EPPs). A partition may be of two types depending on their definition as per the MBR or the EPP. They are Primary partition and Logical drive.

The tables: MBR and EPPs are together known as the Partition Tables. (www.ezinearticles.com)
