Patients in the early stages of pleural mesothelioma do not exhibit many symptoms. 1  Those that do show are not specific to the disease. Mesothelioma symptoms common in the early stages are: 2  Shortness of breath (dyspnea) 3  Chest pain. 4  Persistent coughing. 5  Pleural effusions (fluid buildup)
A GPT disk offers these benefits: 1  Allows up to 128 primary partitions. 2  Master Boot Record (MBR) disks can support up to four primary partitions and an additional 124 partitions inside extended partitions. 3  Allows a much larger partition size--greater than 2 terabytes (TB), which is the limit for MBR disks.
Partition Table. The information about primary partitions and an extended partition is contained in the Partition Table, a 64-byte data structure located in the same sector as the Master Boot Record (cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1).he last two bytes in the sector are a signature word for the sector and are always 0x55AA. The next example is a printout of the Partition Table for the disk shown in an example earlier in this chapter. When there are fewer than four partitions, the remaining fields are all zeros.
