I already told you :D .

Here it is again from another source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track0. Google is quite handy.

It is the first 63 sectors of a hard drive.

Hi Brian K,

so if i get you right, your are saying that:
Sektor0= MBR
Sektor 1-62= hidden track

Correct me if i'm wrong. So thinking about this. Since the disk only needs 1 Sektor for MBR+Partition and Disk signature the hidden track is theoretically unused Space? Have you seen what programs write there (maybe some form of installation information?)

@Dr. Teeth: I think you mixed up Track0 with hidden track.

That's been my definition. Track 0 minus LBA-0. BIBM uses sectors in Track 0 for the EMBR.
