I made these diagrams to generally explain to a college class how file storage layers work on a drive and now when you delete/format the filesystem the file data remains. I couldn't find one online, so made one. What do you think? Any significant issues?

@climagic maybe use GPT instead of MBR these days

@Elbrar For a brief moment I read that as ChatGPT. ;) GPT is something specific though and I realized that the partition table is really part of the MBR anyways, so I just removed it and called it partition table to make it generic. Thanks for the feedback.

@climagic the master boot record was just the section in front of the partition table - like you did in the earlier versions.
But we should primarily teach the new GPT layout, that needs Boot entries in UEFI-BIOS and can't be bootet directly into the (now missing) MBR.
