TL;DR: In this paper, a system for integrating incompatible hard disk partitioning systems in a single hard disk drive provides a method for installing and operating multiple incompatible absolute zero sector operating systems on the same disk drive.
Abstract: A system for integrating incompatible hard disk partitioning systems in a single hard disk drive provides a method for installing and operating multiple incompatible absolute zero sector operating systems on the same hard disk drive with a first operating system and its associated boot loader located at absolute physical sector zero and a second operating system and its associated boot loader located at an absolute physical sector other than zero The system includes a second BIOS that automatically offsets physical addresses for disk requests from the second operating system so that correct absolute physical address of the disk is accessed This facilitates the use of a single hard disk drive in dual-compatible computers which functions selectively in an IBM AT compatible mode and a non-IBM AT compatible mode

16 Jun 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a method for partitioning a magnetic hard disk is disclosed which comprises obtaining an ending position of the FAT area by using information stored in the boot sector of the hard disk, detecting contents of the filesystem, and setting the starting position as a starting position of a second of the at least two partition blocks.
Abstract: A method for partitioning a magnetic hard disk is disclosed which comprises obtaining an ending position of the FAT area by using information stored in the boot sector of the hard disk, detecting contents of the FAT to obtain a starting position of areas, where data is not stored, of the data storage area, and setting the starting position as a starting position of a second of the at least two partition blocks. With the disk partitioning method, the second partition block is overlapped with a part of a first of the at least two partition blocks. Even though program files including a testing program of the computer system are erased from the second partition block (i.e., overlapped region), the computer system can recognize the whole area of the hard disk as an available limit storage region.

21 Jul 1997TL;DR: In this article, a hard disk duplicating method is described in which information is selectively duplicated from a source hard disk to a destination hard disk, even though the information is discontinuously stored on the source disk.
Abstract: Hard disk duplicating method is disclosed in which information are selectively duplicated from a source hard disk to a destination hard disk. The source hard disk is divided into at least two partitions and information are discontinuously stored in the partitions. The method comprises the step of selectively duplicating the data stored in the partitions to the destination hard disk on the basis of the starting and ending positions, even though the information is discontinuously stored on the source hard disk.

TL;DR: A Disk Partitioning Technique is introduced allowing an increase in the number of concurrent users while minimizing the required buffer size and the support for interactive control such as pause or reverse is demonstrated.
Abstract: With the introduction of future multimedia services such as HDTV, digital systems able to store and retrieve a huge amount of video and audio information will play an important role. One of the key problems is the multimedia data access optimization. In this paper we compare several techniques proposed for storage of multimedia information on the hard disk and introduce a Disk Partitioning Technique allowing an increase in the number of concurrent users while minimizing the required buffer size. Also the support for interactive control such as pause or reverse is demonstrated.

TL;DR: Improved flexible disk storage media comprising a pack of flexible recording disks adapted for compact stacking in superposed registration is presented in this article, where each disk is hole-encoded to permit associated disk partitioning apparatus to provide automatic selective partitioning of the pack for selecting a desired disk for the performance of a recording and/or reproducing operation.
Abstract: Improved flexible disk storage media comprising a pack of flexible recording disks adapted for compact stacking in superposed registration. Each disk is hole-encoded to permit associated disk partitioning apparatus to provide automatic selective partitioning of the pack for selecting a desired disk for the performance of a recording and/or reproducing operation with respect to a surface thereof. Each multiple disk pack is removably contained in a protective jacket during partitioning and transducing operations. The jacket cooperates with automatic jacket-opening means so as to provide for convenient insertion and withdrawal of a disk pack while permitting selective partitioning of the pack while contained in the jacket for the performance of a transducing operation on a selected disk in the pack.
