How do brand laptop manufacturers restrict hard disk drive?
- by user176705
I'm curious to know, when I bought a brand new laptop there are limitations to create or change the HDD partitions, except the following partitions:
c:\ drive (Main partition + OS drive) NTFS. 400 Gb.
Recovery drive NTFS. 15 Gb.
Tools drive FAT32. 2 Gb.
System drive NTFS. 0.3 Gb.
My questions are:
How do manufacturers restrict HDDs ?
What is the term for these restrictions?
Can this be applied to desktop PCs?
Is it possible to modify the restrictions by an end-user?
