of addressable blocks at the time it is low-level formatted.The total
number of addressable blocks in the listed partitions appears here.
Partitions used as storage volumes can have a user-specified title (this
is also the name that appears on the Desktop). Other partitions show
the title of the driver or driver component.
The name signifies the nature of the partition. All simple HFS parti-
tions have the name Mac OS.
There are several types of partitions used by the Macintosh. A simple
volume that mounts to the Desktop is of the Apple_HFS type. Parti-
tion maps are of the Apple_Partition_Map type. Drivers are of the
Apple_Driver43 type.
Partitions can be located by their first block or Start Block.
The size of the partition in kilobytes is displayed in this column.
