Hi all,
When using WinHex to view my hard disk, I found there are some continues sectors named "Partition Gap", What's Partition Gap?
I found that the EBR(Extended Boot Record) of the following partition is located at the first sector of the Partition Gap, and the next 62 sectors is empty, like this:

| EBR | The sectors is empty, can they be used to store custom data? | VBR | file system ...................
0 1 63 64

I want use the "unused sectors" of the Partition Gap to store my data, can I?

Wish your suggestion !

Thanks for all

Robin
