'''System partition''' and '''boot partition''' are computing terms for [[disk partition]]s of a [[hard disk drive]], that must exist and be properly configured for some [[Operating System]] (OS) to function correctly. There are two different definitions for these terms: Oneone that developedrefers fromto the firmware disk partition on the PC's operating systems to manage their own Boot Loader's ___location; and the other, common in servers, for firmware that manages the ___location and selection of Boot Loader which access the operating system. The difference comes from the differing view that the partition is intended to hold a single Operating Systems "boot" code and that the "system" firmware controls the partition with the boot code.
