Hello all, May I ask you a question regarding offsets of partitions. Please have a look to the results of diskpart: Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 Primary 100 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Primary 78 GB 101 MB Partition 3 Primary 131 GB 78 GB Partition 0 Extended 22 GB 210 GB Partition 4 Logical 19 GB 210 GB Partition 5 Logical 3371 MB 229 GB As far as I know the offset is the starting point of a partition. OK, but why Partition #3 is overlapped with Partition #2? Why Part 2 ends on 78GB at the same time Part 3 starts from 78GB? Is it OK? Thanks very much for explanations. Best regards, Osman.

Hi Osman, Perhaps using Diskpart's Detail command will shed some light. DiskPart List Disk Select Disk 0 (assuming that's the one) List Partition Now use following sequence for more info: Select Partition 1 (as an example) Detail And repeat the select, detail commands for the other partitions.

Hi Osman, Looks fine to me. If you look at the detailed partition info as detailed by Karl above you should find that partition 3 starts at around 78.1GB. All that is happened is the 78.1GB offset has been rounded to the nearest GB for display purposes.

Thanks very much folks! I've calculated as you suggested and I did indeed get these numbers: capacity of Partition 2: 78.12402 GB offset of Partition 3: 78.22363 GB So, there is a difference. Thank you all again! Best regards, Osman.
