|  | 111 | FreeBSD uses its own hard disk partition scheme on your PC. It |

|  | 164 | They are also known as "Dynamic Disks". |

|  | 166 | Windows 2000 introduced the concept of Dynamic Disks to get around | 
|  | 167 | the limitations of the PC's partitioning scheme.  The Logical Disk | 
|  | 168 | Manager allows the user to repartition a disk and create spanned, | 
|  | 169 | mirrored, striped or RAID volumes, all without the need for | 
|  | 170 | rebooting. | 
|  | 171 |  |
