The EFI system partition needs to be formatted with a file system whose specification is maintained as part of the UEFI specification; the file system itself is based on the FAT file system but is independent from the original FAT specification.

PearCs ship with a completely unmodified copy of Mac OS X . Instead they use the freely available Chameleon bootloader and a number of kernel extensions installed on the EFI System partition to allow them to boot Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

"FreeOTFE " also allows any number of " hidden volumes " to be created, giving plausible deniability and deniable encryption, and also has the option of encrypting full partitions or disks ( but not the system partition ).

However, Windows won't let me do anything to the drive ( " Windows cannot format the system partition on this disk " ) because it's a system drive ( it could also maybe be because it's marked as active ?)

However, according to the software's website, has since improved on the format in order to allow data-in-place encryption on Windows XP, to allow the system partition to have exactly the same format as non-system partitions and to support future project plans.

On Windows Vista and above, a sixth and seventh subkey, " COMPONENTS " and " BCD ", are mapped in memory by the kernel on-demand and loaded from % SystemRoot % \ system32 \ config \ COMPONENTS or from boot configuration data, \ boot \ BCD on the system partition.

Despite the fact that the UEFI specification requires MBR partition tables to be fully supported, some UEFI firmware implementations immediately switch to the BIOS-based CSM booting depending on the type of boot disk's partition table, effectively preventing UEFI booting to be performed from EFI System partitions on MBR-partitioned disks.

:: : Problem with that is, if they want to save their system partition, the copy would also have to copy the boot sector / data or else the system wouldn't boot on the return . 68.39.174.238 07 : 31, 19 December 2006 ( UTC)

On the other hand, I don't want to suddenly switch to a whole new distribution, as that would probably mean a complete reinstall of my system partition as opposed to an upgrade . ( Luckily I keep all my personal files on a separate partition, but I still don't know how it would work if I were to suddenly switch to a whole new distribution . ) Is it possible to run this MAT?thing on Fedora 16 instead of GNOME 3?
