EBR Structure and Values
EBRs have essentially the same structure as the MBR; except only the first two entries of the partition table are supposed to be used, besides having the mandatory boot record signature (or magic number) of 0xAA55 at the end of the sector. This 2-byte signature appears in a disk editor as 0x55 first and 0xAA last, because IBM-compatible PCs store hexadecimal words in little-endian order (see table below).

Famous quotes containing the words structure and/or values:
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”

“We must be physicists in order ... to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.”
