Re: is there an Boot Sector or Partition Table on usb flash disk?

If you are asking about FAT files system, then yes there _must_ be a Boot Sector _and_ a Partition Table.

The partition table holds the information which file system is used in a partition, and so I understand that there always is a partition table on media that (other than floppy and iso-CD) can be formated with different file systems. I suppose in Linux there are ways to provide this information in some different way and avoiding the partition table. But why should anybody want to do this ?
