Talk:Extended Boot Record

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] EMBR vs EBR

This information is incorrect. It's a common error but the correct term is EBR (Extended Boot Record). Search the MS KB for EBR (they designed the layout of the extended partition). The EMBR is a specification created by TeraByte Unlimited (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/specs/embr2.pdf) which was the template design for the next generation of PC's using EFI.

Sounds good to me; EBR is also more logical, since these aren't master records. I have changed the naming. Too bad I can't update the EMBRs in the graphics. The text also said the EBR is the extended partition, so I fixed that too.
