ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method and system of maintaining partition information relating a computer disc drive. The method includes detecting partition information which is located in the first sector of a partition of a disc drive and determining if it is valid, and comparing the valid partition information with a corresponding duplicate of the partition information which is located in a reserved area. For valid partition information which is the same as the corresponding duplicate of the partition information, a standard booting procedure for the computer is allowed to continue. For valid partition information which is not the same as the corresponding duplicate partition information, valid partition information is stored in the reserved area. For partition information which is not valid, the invalid partition information is replaced with corresponding duplicate partition information which is valid.
