If it was type 0 then the 'root' command would not work. it is just to make grub4dos see that there is a valid partition entry there and so access files in it. Most OS's will ignore a 16 byte entry if it has a type of 0 (except linux). The grub4dos parttype command changes that 5th byte to set the type. The 5th byte in each 16 byte entry is a Type number which can be used by some OS's to identify what filesystem is in that partition. In a MBR (first sector on disk) there is a table of 4 entries each 16 bytes long starting at 01beh. This is not very intuitive, as we are used to connect (at least for primary partitions) the (hd m, n) to the actual n entry in the partition table. you cannot use anymore parttype to change it's ID), and you need to get the relevant data through (say) cat -hex and then recreate with them the partition with partnew.

IMHO, since grub4dos is an effective "bridge" between the two worlds it should have (possibly with a -force kind of switch) the possibility of behaving like Linux, let's say that the ID of 0x00 means "not defined type" (do the *whatever* you see fit to verify if it is an actual partition and if it is, identify it's type) and not "empty"īTW, now if you you have an existing partition and use parttype to set it's ID to 0, the partition "vanishes" (i.e.

iso (or blocklist corresponding to it) in the partition table with a 0x00 ID, as we know we can boot from it, but - say - gparted won't recognize it as a CDFS and won't allow you to move it around. Linux is then - but partly only - non-standard. All convention/standards in the DOS/Windows world say that a protective ID of 0x00 means that the partition entry is empty (DO NOT USE it).
