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

hi all,
is there an Boot Sector or Partition Table on usb flash disk?

A bootsector is present, if you wish so, as well as a partition table.
Usually, every usb disk or stick or whatever has a partition table - simply
to correspond to the needs of a BIOS or any Microsoft operating system.
Using Linux, you can get rid of it (by simply putting your file system into
e.g. /dev/hda instead of e.g. /dev/hda2), but this is non-standard.

Take this answer as a "yes" to your question.

Regards,
Sebastian
