An active partition doesn't 'always' use the loader 2 start operating?
Jonathan King has said in a thread.."Marking a partition as active on a basic disk means that the computer will use the loader (an operating system tool) on that partition to start the operating system."
I have a dual XP/Win 7 system which shows:-
Disk 0
(C:) Healthy, (Boot Page File Crash Dump Primary Partition) This has my Win 7
Boot (D:) Healthy (System Active Primary Partition) This has the XP
Now i can choose which I can boot from and the C does not mention 'Active'.
Can anyone elucidate please? Thanks
PS I am trying to understand this as I am actually trying to delete the XP partition.
