This is architecture specific and is done by BIOS. > In this sector of 512 bytes we have 440 bytes for a routine what is the > function of this routine ? Actually its 446 bytes. These are executable code. 16bytes per partition * 4 = 64bytes + (0xAA55) 2 bytes for MBR Marker = 66bytes 512 - 66 = 446 bytes > When this routine is executed ? Just after POST. Done by BIOS. > The 2 bytes with 0xAA55 what is its function ? Its denotes that the sector is executable. Can also be seen as Marker. > Who load it in memory ?

I would suggest work it floppy on qemu/bochs first to understand then gradually move on to partition tables and boot loaders. Read “Understanding the linux kernel” - System Startup chapter for thorough understanding.
