Numbering Sectors

Sectors are numbered in three different ways, as described below:

• Files (relative file sectors) - Numbering starts at sector zero and continues to last sector of the file (calculated as file size divided by 512 plus one)
• Logical Drives (logical sectors) - Numbering starts at sector zero and continues to the last sectors on the drive (calculated as drive size divided by 512 minus one)
• Physical Device (physical sectors) - Number starts at sector zero and continues to the last sector on the device (calculated as device size divided by 512 minus one)
