Active Partition - Definition
An Active Partition is a partition from which an x86-based computer starts up and generally contains the operating system to be used on the computer. The active partition must be a primary partition on a basic disk. If you use Windows exclusively, the active partition can be the same as the system volume. Only one partition on a computer can be set as an active or bootable partition on a hard disk drive.
