Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The active partition is the partition where the computer will look for the hardware-specific files to start the operating system. The primary partition is a basic partition that can be used to boot an operating system and can contain data files, but it does not necessarily contain the hardware-specific files needed to start the system. An extended partition is a type of partition that can be subdivided into logical partitions to create additional drive letters. A startup partition is not a commonly used term in reference to partition types.
