Translations:Partitioning Overview and Existing Partition Tables/9/en

• The convention for listing drives and partitions is: sd [hard disk letter] [partition number]. For example, the first (or only) hard disk connected to your system will be listed as sda, the second sdb, and so on. In respect to partitions, sda1 would be the first partition found in the first hard disk, sda2 would be the second partition, and so on. Logical Partitions will always begin from '5'.
