There are triangle indicators to mark the 2 GB boot boundary and the 8 GB boot boundary
(1024 cylinder limit). The boundary markers can help you as you create, move, or resize
partitions, so you will not make primary partitions unbootable by accident. For additional
information about the boot boundaries, refer to “Understanding the BIOS 1024 Cylinder
Limit” or “Understanding the 2 GB Boot Code Boundary” in the PartitionMagic online
help located under Getting Started > Partitioning Basics.
