If the first partition is FAT32, and over about one gigabyte, all that will get overwritten is the MBR, the partition table, the boot sector of the first partition and the first copy of the FAT of the first partition.

If the first partition is not FAT32 or is smaller than 1GB the bulk of user data on that partition will still be intact but without the root directory and FAT it will be difficult to find it especially if there is significant fragmentation.

If starting with a disk with nothing important on it, delete all partitions, unplug the disk or reboot, create at least one partition with Windows XP / 2000 Disk Management or the XP / 2000 installer, and format all FAT partitions ( only so that Ranish Partition Manager will not show them in red ).

If the pencil with the angle u2 is that of the maximum aberration of all the pencils transmitted, then in a plane perpendicular to the axis at O ' 1 there is a circular disk of confusion of radius O ' 1R, and in a parallel plane at O ' 2 another one of radius O ' 2R2 ; between these two is situated the disk of least confusion.

If a DFS ROM is installed, will cause the computer to search for and load a file called on the floppy disk in drive 0.

If the disk was not otherwise prepared with a custom format, ( e. g. for data disks ), 664 blocks would be free after formatting, giving 664 × 254 = 168, 656 bytes ( or almost 165 kB ) for user data.

If the missile starts to roll, the gyroscopic force of the disk drives the control surface into the airflow, cancelling the motion.

If these relations are stored physically as separate disk files, completing a database query that draws information from several relations ( a join operation ) can be slow.

: If a planet crosses ( or transits ) in front of its parent star's disk, then the observed brightness of the star drops by a small amount.

If a piece of data is not retrieved for some time and a node keeps getting new data, it will drop the old data sometime when its allocated disk space is fully used.

If disk galaxies merge with another galaxy of comparable mass ( at least 15 percent of its mass ) the merger will likely destroy, or at a minimum greatly disrupt the disk, yet the resulting galaxy is not expected to be a disk galaxy.

If there is a difference in velocity between two disks, any matter transferred between them must be accelerated by the disk accordingly.

If the rotor disk is to be tilted forward ( to gain forward velocity ), its rotation requires that the downward net force on the blade be applied roughly 90 degrees ( depending on blade configuration ) before, or when the blade is to one side of the pilot and rotating forward.

If two devices overwrote the same memory location in a conflict, and the hard disk controller relied on this location ( the HDD controller often being the 2nd conflicting device ) there was the all-too-common possibility of massive data corruption.

If a connection delay of a minute or two is acceptable, the machine can timeout into hibernation, powered off with its state saved to disk.

If an external disk drive was added, the "+ 2A " on the system OS menu would change to a + 3.

The first stage of boot loaders located on fixed disks and removable drives must fit into the first 446 bytes of the Master Boot Record in order to leave room for the default 64-byte partition table with four partition entries and the two-byte boot signature, which the BIOS requires for a proper boot loader — or even less, when additional features like more than four partition entries ( up to 16 with 16 bytes each ), a disk signature ( 6 bytes ), a disk timestamp ( 6 bytes ), an Advanced Active Partition ( 18 bytes ) or special multi-boot loaders If an active partition is found, the MBR code loads the boot sector code from that partition, known as Volume Boot Record ( VBR ), and executes it.

If a user changed disks without manually rereading the disk directory the system would write on the new disk using the old disk's directory information, ruining the data stored on the disk.

If the visible disk of the nearer object is considerably smaller than that of the farther object, the event is called a transit.

If there is only one disk ( or even none at all ), the problem is trivial.

If h = 1, then simply move the disk from peg A to peg C. If h > 1, then somewhere along the sequence of moves, the largest disk must be moved from peg A to another peg, preferably to peg C. The only situation that allows this move is when all smaller h-1 disks are on peg B.

If an XFS filesystem is to be created on a striped RAID array, a stripe unit can be specified when the file system is created.

If the filesystem becomes fragmented, the only way to defragment it is to use a utility such as Coriolis System's iDefrag, or to wipe the hard drive completely and install the system from scratch.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If the archers were mounted on horseback, they could be used to even more devastating effect as a mobile weapons platform.

If these latter effects occur strongly – for modern penetrators this is typically the case for a slope between 55 ° and 65 ° – better protection would be provided by vertically mounted armour of the same area density.

If the bell is mounted as cast, it is called a " maiden bell ".

If the cable was attached directly to the weight, the load would cause rotation and untwist the cable strands, so the cable wraps around a pulley mounted to the top of each weight.
