1. What are the two components inside Boot Sector? Volume Boot Record, and Master Boot Record.
2. What is MBR?
"A master boot record (MBR) is the first sector ("sector zero") of a data storage device such as a hard disk. It is sometimes used for bootstrapping operating systems, sometimes used for holding a disc's partition table, and sometimes used for uniquely identifying individual disc media; although on some machines it is entirely unused and ignored.
In practice, MBR almost always refers to the 512-byte boot sector, or partition sector of a disk partitioned for IBM PC-compatible computers. 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."- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record.
